The FIA has released a new version of the 2016 Formula 1 calendar, which confirms an earlier start to the season and the return of the August three-week summer break. Formula 1 was set for its latest start to a season since 1988, with the Australian Grand Prix pencilled in for April 3 when the governing body approved the calendar in July.
But early on Wednesday, Australian Grand Prix organisers announced that while its race would remain the opener, its had been moved to March 20. That has eased the pressure on an already heavily condensed schedule, which features a record 21 races with Azerbaijan joining the fray and Germany returning after a year out.
