Following the draft 2014 F1 calendar earlier this month the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council has signed off on next year’s schedule. And you’ll never guess what, the New Jersey race is on the list (1 June)!
So, it’s pretty safe to expect there will be changes to this calendar before next season rolls around. The Grand Prix of America (New Jersey) is just one of three races listed as “provisional” along with Korea (27 April) and Mexico (16 November).
Melbourne’s status as the debut race of the year (16 March) has been confirmed and the season will end in Brazil (30 November). Although, quite a few of the dates and races have been moved around since the draft calendar.
Whatever happens to the three events in question, it looks like we’ll have two new grands prix in 2014 with the Austrian (22 June) and Russian (5 October) races now signed off.
If we take the calendar at face value there will be a staggering 22 races. Yep, there’ll be changes alright! For what it’s worth you can see the revised calendar in full after the break.
