F1 reveals 21-race calendar for 2018

The FIA's World Motor Sport Council has approved a 21-race calendar for the 2018 Formula One season.

It is the first calendar agreed under Formula One's new ownership and it sees the returns of the French and German Grands Prix as well as the loss of the Malaysian Grand Prix, which was announced earlier this year following a 19-year presence in the sport.

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix will be moved forward to a date in late April with Russia being shifted towards the end of the calendar to form a double-header with Japan -- the position previously held by Malaysia.
