Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali will visit Bangkok next week as plans for a race in Thailand gather momentum.

RACER understands a delegation from the organizing committee for a race in the Chatuchak area are present at this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix to understand how the race is put on within Albert Park. The Bangkok plans feature a similar track location with some city street sections as well as park usage, and the delegation previously attended last year’s Singapore Grand Prix on a similar visit.

The bid to host a race in Thailand has emerged as the most likely new addition to the calendar at this stage amid multiple expressions of interest, with F1 introducing race rotation. The Belgian Grand Prix has already been confirmed as moving to alternate years from 2027 onwards, with a similar model being explored for Barcelona and Imola.
