Formula One racing's governing body, the FIA, has released the calendar for the 2010 world championship. The addition of the Korean Grand Prix, and a return to Canada (subject to race contract), will make for a 19-round season - two more than in 2009.
The Bahrain Grand Prix will kick off proceedings on March 14, followed by the Australian race two weeks later. The Malaysian and Chinese races will take place in April, with the Sepang event getting underway an hour earlier than this year, with a revised start time of 1600 hours local time...
Following a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) in Paris on Wednesday, the FIA has re-released its provisional calendar for the 2010 season. The slightly revised schedule sees next year's Monaco Grand Prix move forward one week to May 16 from its original date of May 23.
The sport's governing body also revealed that it has approved in principle a proposal to swap the dates of the Abu Dhabi and Brazilian Grands Prix, pending an agreement with the promoters of both events, and that they are expecting confirmation from Formula One Management about the Canadian and British Grands Prix shortly.
