Formula 1 Unveils A Record 22-race Calendar
Formula 1 has unveiled a 22-race calendar for 2020 season, a record-high in one season for the motorsport.
Subject to FIA approval, the 2020 season will start in Australia on 15th March and end in Abu Dhabi on 29th November, while next year will also see seven ‘double-headers’, where races are held on back-to-back weekends.
There are two new races added to the schedule, with a stop in Vietnam providing another first for the sport, while a return to the Netherlands’ Zandvoort circuit for the first time since 1985 adds a nod to tradition.
The addition of one extra race means the season will end a week later than this year, but there will remain four weeks free in the summer.
Meanwhile, the Italian Grand Prix – which is out of contract after this year – has been included subject to the signing of a new contract, which Formula 1 claims is being finalised.
