Baku race included in provisional 2016 Formula 1 calendar

By , Reporter
The FIA releases a provisional calendar for the 21-race 2016 Formula 1 season, which will include the inaugural Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Formula 1's governing body has released a provisional calendar for the 2016 season, featuring an inaugural grand prix in Azerbaijan.

The Baku race is scheduled to take place on July 17 next year, in between events in Austria and Germany, which also returns after missing 2015.

The 21-race season will start later than usual, with the Australian Grand Prix pencilled in for April 3, while the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will take place on November 23.

Malaysia moves to the second half of the season, going ahead just a week after the Singapore Grand Prix in September, while Sochi moves forward to May.
