F1 Confirms Turkey Return with Istanbul Park Deal Through 2031

Formula 1 has confirmed that Istanbul Park in Turkey will return to the F1 calendar from 2027 on a five-year deal running through 2031, as announced by championship organizers on Friday. The circuit originally hosted F1 from 2005 to 2011 before being dropped due to financial issues and poor attendance, with brief returns in 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic. F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali welcomed the return, and the deal effectively finalizes the full 2027 race schedule.
