Qatar will make its debut on the Formula 1 calendar with a race in November and has signed a 10-year deal to host a Grand Prix from 2023.
The Gulf state will fill the vacant slot on this season’s schedule on 19-21 November with a race at its Losail circuit, known for hosting Moto GP.
Qatar will not host an F1 race in 2022 to focus on staging the FIFA World Cup.
The race’s location from 2023 has not been confirmed, but the plan is to hold a street race in the capital Doha.
