The FIA has published a finalised 2014 F1 calendar after a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Paris.
The schedule has been slimmed down to 19 races and will start in Australia on March 16th. The season finale will take place in Abu Dhabi - not Brazil, for the first time since 2010 - at the Yas Marina Circuit on November 23rd.
Unsurprisingly, the Grand Prix of America in New Jersey and a return to Mexico have been removed from the calendar - despite being on the amended version which circulated the paddock at the end of the season.
The Korean Grand Prix has been dropped after only four races. South Korea hosted its first F1 race in 2010, which was won by Fernando Alonso for Ferrari.
However, the Austrian Grand Prix will return to the calendar for the first time since 2003 at the Red Bull Ring - formerly known as the A1 Ring - on June 22nd and the first Russian Grand Prix will take place in mid-October.
The season will feature four back-to-back races, including Japan and Russia, and a four-week between rounds 11 and 12 in Hungary and Belgium.
