Formula One Management has revealed a draft 2019 F1 calendar which features 21 races including a German Grand Prix.

The calendar also includes a race in Japan, as the Suzuka circuit has extended its contract to hold the race. China will hold the 1,000th round of the world championship race in April.

“It gives me great pleasure to announce that the draft of the 2019 FIA Formula 1 world championship calendar is made up of 21 races, as it was this year,” said CEO Chase Carey.

“In addition, we are honoured the promoters of the long-standing Japanese Grand Prix have agreed to a new long-term deal that will ensure our loyal and knowledgeable Japanese fans will be able to enjoy Formula 1 for more years to come.

“I am also delighted to confirm that with the very valuable help of Mercedes-Benz, the German automobile clubs ADAC and AvD and the German Minister for Transportation and Digital Infrastructure, we have reached an agreement with the Municipality of Hockenehim and the promoter Hockenheim-Ring GmbH which will allow to once more race at this iconic circuit also in 2019.

“This demonstrates how all stakeholders within Formula 1 are working together to ensure the long-term future of the sport and its fans.”
