Turkey has been dropped, 6 back to back races and changes to the calendar, Read all below:

This means unfortunately the Turkish Gp has been dropped for 2012. The country had been struggling to get audiences coming to the races, and after some consecutive years of bad turnouts its inevitably been taken off the calendar.

Other notable changes are the USA Gp has been moved back to its November 18th date after disagreements over temperatures in the old date. Also the Indian Gp has been moved back to October 28th from its earlier date as well, because of the high temperatures in the provisional date.

There is a return of the Bahrain Grand Prix on April 22nd. This race had been set for a later date to help the country solve its problems.

There are now 6 back to back Grand Prix's, Australia and Malaysia, China and Bahrain, Germany and Hungary, Belgium and Italy, Japan and Korea and finally the penultimate and final rounds USA and Brazil.
