According to the Turkish government, a five-year deal will see Formula 1 return to the nation for the first time since 2021 during the upcoming season. According to the government, the deal was scheduled to be revealed on Friday at a gathering that included FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Erdogan stated that "at least five years" will be the duration of the agreement. The race next year would be the first to take place on the Istanbul Park track since Turkey was added to the schedule in 2020 and 2021 because to disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The circuit held Formula One from 2005 to 2011.

The most recent Mercedes race was won by Valtteri Bottas.
According to Erdogan, hosting Formula One will "demonstrate to the world that our country is the safe haven of its region."
Neither F1 nor the FIA provided an immediate confirmation.
The announcement comes after the Iran war severely disrupted regional sports, forcing Formula One to postpone this month's planned races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
This resulted in a significant void in the program for this year. The first Formula One race since the Japanese Grand Prix on March 29 will take place at the Miami Grand Prix next week.

Since Domenicali stated in February that it was a possibility to return, F1's return to Istanbul has been greatly anticipated.
He mentioned locales like Istanbul Park and the Portimão track, which will host the Portuguese Grand Prix again next year, to demonstrate that Formula One is not overly preoccupied with street races in opulent settings.
Although they can be some of Formula One's most lucrative events, like as the Las Vegas Grand Prix, drivers often prefer purpose-built racetracks.Turkey's status is not quite certain. To put it this way, keep an eye on Turkey," Domenicali stated at the time. "This is also in response to those who claimed that there were too many street races. Instead of street races, the upcoming ones will be on tracks.The long, fast turn eight at Istanbul Park was frequently regarded as one of the world's most difficult turns, and the circuit was usually well-liked by drivers.
Lewis Hamilton has won the Turkish Grand Prix twice, but Felipe Massa has won three straight for Ferrari from 2006 to 2008.
