Chinese GP set for April 1
Print Edition
The 2016 Formula One Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled for April 17, becoming the third stop of the new season which starts with the Australian GP in Melbourne on March 20.
It will be the 13th year for the Shanghai International Circuit in suburban Jiading District to hold the race.
According to the 2016 calendar released by the FIA on Wednesday, a record 21 races will be held next year from March until the end of November. Azerbaijan鈥檚 Baku will become a new F1 host, with its grand pix scheduled for June 19. The German Grand Prix will return to the calendar, and is set for July 31 in Hockenheim. The season will end in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, on November 27.
Next year鈥檚 United States GP in Austin, Texas, which is scheduled for October 23, remains provisional due to funding doubts. It was given an asterisk by FIA reading 鈥渟ubject to agreement with the promoter and national sporting authority鈥.
Officials of the Circuit of the Americas said earlier that they were financially strapped after storms wiped out much of the 2015 race weekend, as well as the news that the Texas government is reducing subsidies by about roughly 20 percent to around US$19.5 million.
