WMSC approves record 21-race calendar for 2016 season

xxxx during the Formula One Grand Prix of China at Shanghai International Circuit on April 12, 2015 in Shanghai, China.

The World Motor Sport Council has approved a record 21-race calendar for the 2016 season following a meeting in Mexico City on Friday.

The season is set to begin in Australia on April 3rd, three-weeks later than the commencement of the 2015 calendar, whilst Malaysia has been shifted from the second race of the year to round 16.

Germany makes a return after it was dropped from the current schedule due to financial concerns at the Nurburgring, however Hockenheim says it is fully committed to hosting the event.

Before that, Azerbaijan will make its debut with a street circuit in the capital city of Baku – which is expected to be held under the ‘European Grand Prix’ banner.

Meanwhile the summer shutdown has been reduced from the usual four-week period to just three.

The season concludes in Abu Dhabi on November 27, the same week as the current calendar comes to a close.
