The calendar for next year’s World Championship has also been published and it holds no surprises in that it consists of the same 17 events as this year. There is a slight change to the order in that the French GP returns to its traditional early July slot, ahead of the British event.

However, there appear to be no races just one week apart, which means that the popular three week gap in the middle of the summer which used to follow the back-to-back races is no more.
