Formula 1 CEO Stephano Domainley has revealed that he will visit Thailand after Australian Grand Prix to negotiate a possible race in Bangkok.
The current F1 calendar is the most packed, which is 24 Grands Prix Slated for the 2025 season, running in Melbourne later this week.
However, the recent interest bounce in the series has searched many potential new hosts a place in future years.
Madling in Madrid joined the list for the next season, while Belgium Grand Prix has become the first to sign an agreement to host the race on a rotational basis, similarly freeing the space for other tracks.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the domainley will continue as the Chairman and CEO of Formula One Management. For at least five yearsWith the East-Farari Boss appointed in 2021.
During its extended deal, taking F1 to new markets would be an important goal for Domenicali.
He said, “I think what we were able to talk well in the last few years is to focus on places that we believe that represents the future for Formula 1,” he told Sky Sports F1.
“We attract a lot of attention from other places of the world. By the way, I am completing the race here in Melbourne, I go to Bangkok to see this – there is a possible interest from the government to develop something there.
“We have other places in Europe, and as you know there are interests in Africa, now interested in South America.”
A road race around Bangkok has been robbed for some time, but a step was close last year, when Thai Prime Minster Santha Thawicin participated in Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and later revealed that he had interacted with Dominally.
He wrote: “According to the intention of the Thai government to bring F1 racing in Thailand in the near future, I visited Autodromeo Ee Dino Ferrari and discussed with the Formula One Group officials.

“It resonates with our policy to place Thailand on the global radar for international events and activities.”
Rwanda, who hosted the 2024 FIA Gala, has announced her ambition to bring F1 back to Africa – although a call has been made for a series by representatives of the Democratic Republic of Congo in the region.
Meanwhile, in last year’s United States Grand Prix, Domainley indicated that Argentina could return to the F1 calendar in the future, which last hosted a round of the championship in 1998.
Next to the 2025 season opener in Australia, McLaren’s CEO Zak Brown praised the idea of adding the rotational race, but believes that the calendar tops the 24.
Asked if F1 has reached its peak, Brown replied: “I don’t think it has hit its peak, which is quite exciting.
“Clearly some things are at its peak, 24 races. We cannot do much. I would like to see, and this is something that is spoken in the past to develop the calendar, perhaps a fixed 20 races and eight that roam every other year.
“This is a way to go to 28 markets, but maintain a 24-race calendar as the calendar is very difficult on everyone but it is a way to continue the game.”
