The F1 2023 season has broken records this year with a 23-race calendar, including the return of the Las Vegas Grand Prix (for the first time since 1982). There are now more locations than ever for fans to enjoy.
Ahead of the next Grand Prix coming up this weekend (April 2nd), Instagram hashtag data has been utilised to uncover the most popular F1 courses on the social media platform worldwide.
Coming in first is Suzuka in Japan (above), with 254,111 Instagram hashtags. This course has held 31 races since 1987, and will return for this year’s season in September. Suzuka is one of the few courses to have a figure-eight layout, with 17 turns, making it quite a challenging race.
