March 17th, St Patrick’s Day. Mark it down, because that’s the date the 2013 Formula One season kicks off. And we’re pleased to say Australia has kept its place as the opening race of the year.
For now, a place has been reserved on the 20 race calendar for the Grand Prix of Jersey (New York). It has taken the place of the European GP. There is an asterisk alongside the date, though, so race organisers had better get cracking if they’re going to convince Bernie they can get everything ready (giving Bernie cash, in other words).
The back-to-back races include Australia–Malaysia, China–Bahrain, Canada–New York and Korea–Japan. The mid-season break starts after Hungary on 28 July and ends when the lights go out at Belgium on 25 August.
You can see the full calendar, as confirmed by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council overnight, after the break.
UPDATE: The FIA revised the 2013 F1 calendar on 6 December.
