Formula 1 is set to have an even longer season than the one that has been envisioned for the 2021 season. Already, the 2021 season is already going to be the longest season in the history of the sport with 23 races planned. However, Liberty Media wants to have 24 races in a season in the coming the future and based on the positive feedback of F1 going back to some of the classic venues, it also is envisioning a rotating calendar where some venues get a race every alternate year. 

"Many locations we raced at this year expressed great interest in new races and other countries have stronger than ever interest. We expect to move to a 24-race calendar in the next few years, and will probably rotate a few races so we will be able to accommodate a few new partners," said F1's outgoing CEO Chase Carey.
