2017 Provisional Calendar Released

F1 2017 PROVISIONAL CALENDAR

    A provisional calendar for the 2017 season has been published. Subject to confirmation, over twenty races will be run from March through to November.

    As usual, the 2017 season starts in Australia, before China and Bahrain. Then the circus heads to Europe for nine rounds, with the trip to Canada in the middle, before returning to East Asia for Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan. The grid then goes to America for three rounds – USA, Mexico, and Brazil  - before the season ends in Abu Dhabi.

    The calendar currently includes seven pairs of back to back races, though there are never more than two race weekends in a row.

    The main concern for the wider motorsport world is that, once again, the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be out of access to anybody wanting to complete an entire F1 season. The 24 hours race clashes with the Azerbaijan grand prix.

    You can find the full provisional calendar below. The Canadian, German, and Brazilian Grand Prix are all still subject to confirmation.
