Global warming is a big issue that surrounds the entire world. Many governments are looking at ways to reduce global warming as it affects the world with climate change. Many organisations are actively looking at ways to reduce carbon emissions and Formula 1 is one of the key players involved in achieving Net zero carbon emissions.

Net Zero Goal starts with Canada
The Canadian Grand Prix will now pay the price for Global warming and the Net Zero Carbon emission goal of Formula 1. Usually, the canadian Grand prix happens in the second half of the season each year. But from the 2026 season the Canadian Grand prix will happen earlier than expected as F1 is planning to rationalise the calendar. Hereafter, the race will be in the third or fourth week of May every year. The Formula 1 organization committee says “Bringing the Montreal race forward will allow the European leg of the season to be consolidated into one consecutive period over the European summer months.”

This will also make F1 efforts more sustainable as they don't need to leave their carbon footprint all around the world at the same time. The Canadian Grand prix will take place after the Miami GP which will pair the two North American races together. The Japanese Grand prix was also moved to April to match the Asia Pacific region races like Japan, Australia and China. The Azerbaijan race was moved to September and matched with the Singapore GP. The Middle East Grand prix has Bahrain, AbuDhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia paired at the start and end of the F1 calendar.
Stefano Domenicalli the President and CEO of Formula 1 has said “The change will make the future flow of our calendar not only more sustainable, but logistically more sensible for our teams and Personnel. Our Net Zero by 2030 commitment continues to be a priority for us as a sport and it is thanks to changes like this that we are on track to hitting our goal.”
