2015 F1 schedule increased to 21 races after shock Korean GP return

1 Mins read

The 2015 Formula 1 season will possibly run an unprecedented twenty-one-race schedule after the FIA announced that the Korean Grand Prix would make a shock return after a year’s absence.

The World Motor Sport Council has added the Korean race at a yet-to-be-confirmed venue on May 03rd, with the original Yeongam track that held races between 2010 and 2013 and a new Seoul street circuit being the two options.

The race in Korea has been pencilled in for the week before the Spanish Grand Prix, one of five double headers now scheduled for the 2015 F1 season.

The other change to the calendar sees the Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir move forward a week to accommodate Korea, with the race now being held a week after the Chinese Grand Prix on April 19th.
