The FIA World Motor Sport Council has now issued an official 2015 schedule that as expected includes 20 races, with the Mexico GP the only addition to this year’s calendar.
Changes to a preliminary schedule that had been circulating include Austin now running before Mexico, and Japan being moved forward to run back-to-back with Singapore, leaving Russia as a stand alone event.
As mentioned here previously there will be anxious faces at COTA given that many Mexican fans who have been travelling to the USA may now focus on their home race.
