Next year's schedule will feature 20 rounds, matching the sport's record for the most races in a season.

The only new addition is F1's return to Mexico and the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the first time since 1992.

There have been a few tweaks to the draft calendar that circulated over the Italian Grand Prix weekend. The United States Grand Prix will take place ahead of Mexico, while Japan has been moved forward to run back-to-back with Singapore.

This leaves Russia as a stand alone race. Unsurprisingly the schedule does not include rounds in India or New Jersey.
