South Korea, Mexico and New Jersey ditched from F1 program
FORMULA ONE: PARIS, Dec 7, 2013 (AFP) - Three Grands Prix have been
removed from the provisional Formula One calendar for 2014 at the
International Automobile Federation’s AGM on Wednesday. Races in South
Korea, Mexico and New Jersey had been included in a bloated 22-race
programme for next season but the FIA has decided to keep the current
programme of 19 races.
With a new fixture on the calendar in Sochi for the Russian Grand
Prix next year, the Korean race at Yeongam has had to make way. It also
means no prospective new race in Mexico, nor a return to the calendar
for New Jersey. An original 22-race provisional calendar had been
announced on September 30 but that has now been reduced.
The Indian Grand Prix has also had to make way for the Austrian race
at the Red Bull Ring, although that had already been announced in
September.
The only other change from the 2013 calendar sees the German GP move
from the Nurburgring to Hockenheim.
