FIA confirms 20-race calendar for 2015

The FIA has confirmed the 20-race calendar for the 2015 season, which includes the return of the Mexican Grand Prix.

In the longest-ever Formula 1 season, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez will host its first race in 13 years on November 1 - the third to last race of the year.

Abu Dhabi again concludes the calendar and falls four weeks later on what is the latest finish date since 1963, while Australia kicks off the campaign and is followed by the Malaysian GP a fortnight later.

In minor adjustments to this season's schedule, Japan has been moved to precede Singapore in late September, while the race in America comes the weekend prior to Formula 1's return to Mexico.

The British Grand Prix at Silverstone has been retained for the first week of July.
