20 F1 races in 2015 as Mexico back
Print Edition
THE 2015 Formula One championship features 20 races following the return of the Mexico Grand Prix.
Mexico last held an F1 race in 1992, and the same venue, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, will host it on November 1.
The expanded calendar means the season will finish one week later, with the Abu Dhabi GP pushed back to November 29.
The Singapore and Japan GPs will be back-to-back on September 20-27. Meanwhile, the United States GP swaps dates with Mexico, and will be held a week earlier on October 25 in Austin, Texas.
However, the Indian GP failed to make it back, and the Grand Prix of America — provisionally planned for New Jersey — again does not feature. Twenty races were also held in 2012.
Meanwhile, former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn has distanced himself from speculation that he could return to the F1 team following next month’s departure of chairman Luca di Montezemolo.
“I’m not considering a role at Ferrari or anywhere else at the moment. I’m not in contact with Ferrari and am not actively seeking a new role in Formula One,” the Briton told Germany’s Auto, Motor und Sport magazine.
The 59-year-old, who played a big role in Ferrari’s era of dominance with seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher between 1999 and 2004, left F1 at the end of last year after a management shuffle at Mercedes.
Montezemolo announced on Wednesday that he would be leaving on October 13 and there has been speculation that Ferrari, short of heavyweight hitters of Brawn’s caliber, could approach its former employee.
