A first draft of what Formula 1’s longest ever calendar in 2020 has been confirmed.
Following the news on Tuesday that the Spanish Grand Prix will continue for one more year, it means the sport faces a 22-race schedule with only the German GP falling off.
The two new events are expected to come early, with the Vietnam GP set for April 5 after a doubler-header of Australia and Bahrain to begin the year.
Holland’s return at Zandvoort will follow just two rounds later on May 3, a week ahead of Barcelona, while the Azerbaijan GP is pushed back to its original June date between Monaco and Canada.
Silverstone will celebrate 70 years since the first F1 race on July 19, with the four-week summer break taking place in August.
The final run to Abu Dhabi is unchanged, with the season finale at Yas Marina pencilled in for November 29.
Currently, the only race still pending is the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, with a new deal expected to be signed soon.
Final approval is required from the World Motor Sport Council, who will vote next month.
