It occurs after the last grand prix in July, so in 2024 is taking place after the F1 Belgian Grand Prix where Geo🍎ܫrge Russell's disqualification allowed Lewis Hamilton to win.

It is written a𝓀s Article 21.8 within the sporting regulations that, for 1ꦅ4 days, F1 teams must shut their factory doors.

Car develo🧜pment, design or𒉰 production of any kind is not permitted within these 14 days.

Only the most basic of activities - and departments which have no direct involvement in car develꦆopment - are allowed to continue.

Why does F1 have a summer break?

The rule is in place to guarantee tꩲhat staff working for Formula 1 teams have time away f💦rom work.

Staff are very busy during the winter - throughout Christmas and the New Year - putting the final touc♌hes to the꧟ir new cars ahead of the next season.

So the summer break is a mandatory per꧟iod where F1 teams must allow their staff some downtime.

Teams are not mandated to hold their 14-꧂day break༒s at the same time.

When does the summer break end?

Formula 1 ret𓃲urns with the F1 Dutch Grand Prix on August 23-25.

Then F1 will stage nine grands prix until the end of the season, including the flyaway roꦍunds.
