F1 has also announced a 10-year deal with Qatar, which will see it take a permanent place on the calendar from 2023. This year, the twilight race at Doha's Losail International Circuit is on November 19-21 and is one of seven remaining rounds of a hugely competitive campaign, as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen battle for the title. It fills the vacant slot that was left by the Australian GP's cancellation, concluding a triple header after Mexico and Brazil and is the first of three races in the Middle East to finish the season. The Saudi Arabian and Abu Dhabi GPs are on December 5 and 12. Formula 1 2021: Confirmed calendar for the rest of the season
"We are very pleased to welcome Qatar to the Formula 1 calendar this season and for the longer term from 2023," said F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali, after the Qatar GP was confirmed as the 20th round of 2021. "We have shown that we can continue to adapt and there is huge interest in our sport and the hope from many locations to have a Grand Prix. The huge effort from all the teams, F1 and the FIA has made it possible to deliver a 22-race calendar, something that is very impressive during a challenging year and something we can all be proud of." The Losail International Circuit is already a staple on the MotoGP calendar, having hosted races since 2004. And Qatar now has a long-term commitment to F1, with a 10-year deal to start in 2023 - a year after the country hosts football's FIFA World Cup for the first time.

"The step from the gesture to be helpful to F1 in 2021 to a long term strategy was short and simple and the vision for F1 to be the showcase for Qatar after the FIFA World Cup in 2022 was the driving force behind this long term agreement. "As part of the longer-term deal, discussions will continue regarding the location for the Grand Prix from 2023 with further details to be provided at a later time." The fabulous Lusail International Circuit lies on the outskirts of Doha, the capital city of Qatar. Built in little over a year, the track cost $58 million USD and required round-the-clock dedication from almost 1,000 workers in order to get it ready for the inaugural event - the Marlboro Grand Prix of Qatar on the 2nd October 2004. The track itself is a flowing layout of 5.4 kilometres, surrounded by artificial grass designed to prevent sand from the neighbouring desert from blowing onto the circuit. The main straight is over a kilometre in length and there is a good mix of medium and high-speed corners, including a couple of quick left-handers which has proved particularly popular with the riders. In 2008 Qatar celebrated the first night time Grand Prix in history, following the construction of permanent outdoor lighting. The switch to night time racing was a success and has continued to be so, with the Qatar event now established as one of the most spectacular on the MotoGP calendar.
Qatar successfully hosted the inaugural 2021 Formula 1 Ooredoo Qatar Grand Prix creating an unforgettable experience of Formula 1 racing. The 20th event of the 2021 season was celebrated at the Losail International Circuit which ran its first-ever F1 Grand Prix (GP) race in November. The F1 season will end with a Middle Eastern run, with Saudi Arabia’s first race followed by a race in the United Arab Emirates in December 2021.

About Losail International CircuitLosail International Circuit is situated 22 miles north of Qatar’s capital city, Doha. The circuit opened its doors in 2004, and in 2007, added permanent floodlights to facilitate evening races. Losail International Circuit is 5.38 km in length with a total of 16 turns (10 right turns and 6 left turns). The main straight on the circuit is just over a kilometre long, providing the circuit’s only F1 DRS zone, and allowing cars to reach speeds over 220km/h on race day.
