It was released by German website SpeedWeek on Sunday, prior to last weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

Some dates may still change, but the current plan - according to the draft calendar - is for the 2015 season to kick off in Australia on March 15th and end in Abu Dhabi on November 29th.

The big difference in comparison to this year's schedule is the addition of the Mexican Grand Prix, which looks set to return on October 25th at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriquez.

The Indian Grand Prix is absent from the draft calendar, despite claiming to have cancelled its 2014 event to return to F1 with an early race in 2015.

Unsurprisingly, the Grand Prix of America in New Jersey - which appeared on the draft 2013 and 2014 schedules before being postponed - is not included. F1 has only had a 20-race calendar once before, in 2012.
