Indian GP cut from 2014 Calendar

So, it was announced earlier today that the Indian GP will not make a return until 2015, due to scheduling conflicts. Although it is set to return in 2015, it will not be at the end of the F1 season, but instead in the beginning, shoved somewhere around Malaysia and Bahrain. 

The Indian GP will still run later this year, in October. Bernie Ecclestone wants the GP to be moved to the beginning of the season but due to the fact it's already running at the end of this year, running it at the beginning of next year would set the same GP too close together.

So, instead of 22 races next year, we will be at 21, which is 1 more than the usual 20. We only have 19 this year due to New Jersey not being a ready circuit and no one was able to fill in for the extra European slot.

More info to come soon.
