This means we have 22 races including new events in New Jersey, Austria, Russia and Mexico with India falling off the calendar for its planned 1 year hiatus.
Although this has been ‘confirmed’ by the FIA it does seem unlikely that it is going to finish like this. The triple header between Monaco / New Jersey / Canada really does not seem workable and 3 races are still provisional.
I personally would love to see the full 22 races make it as every extra race is more to watch and enjoy!
