FIA RELEASE PROVISIONAL CALENDAR FOR 2019
The championship will run from early March to early December, once again starting with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and ending at the Yas Marina Circuit with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
After many complaints concerning this year’s European triple header, where the French, Austrian, and British grands prix took place on consecutive weekends, it has been removed for the 2019 season. The French and Austrian races will be back to back, but teams have been afforded a weekend off before the British race.
The move has pushed back the summer break, with the Hungarian Grand Prix taking place in early August before the break, which ends with the Belgian Grand Prix at the start of September.
The only other difference to this season’s calendar is the positions of the Mexican and United States grands prix in the running order. Mexico is scheduled to host its race before the US, but organizers may try to move the US race, which is set to take place on the same weekend as a NASCAR meeting at the Texas Motor Speedway.
