The 2020 F1 calendar has been officially ratified by the sport’s governing body, the FIA.

A record-breaking 22 races will take place next year, including a brand new event in Vietnam and the return of the Dutch Grand Prix for the first time since 1985. The two new additions to the championship, which will take place in April and May respectively next year, are listed as “subject to homologation” of the circuits.

The German Grand Prix is the only round from this year’s schedule which has been dropped.

Vietnam Grand Prix Corporation CEO Le Ngoc Chi told RaceFans last month she is “absolutely confident we are on track and schedule in accordance with our plan to deliver our first grand prix on 3-5 April 2020.”

Seven pairs of races will run on consecutive weekends: Australia and Bahrain, the Netherlands and Spain, Azerbaijan and Canada, France and Austria, Belgium and Italy, Singapore and Russia, and finally USA and Mexico. However there will be no run of the three consecutive race weekends seen last year.
