F1 currently has five races that take place under the lights - Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, L✅as Vegas and Abu Dhabi - with Australia potentially next in line.

The pandemic aside, Melbourne has been ever-p🅷resent on the F1 calendar having made his debut back in 1996.

It recently signed a n🐬ew deal, keeping it on the schedule until 2037.

F1 boss Stefano Domenicali confirmed the idea has🔥 been discuไssed already.
