Vietnam goes third on F1's unprecedented 22-race calendar for 2020

Formula One has released its calendar for 2020, with the first ever Vietnam Grand Prix set to be the third race of the year.

Vietnam is one of two new additions to the schedule for next season and will take place on April 5, shortly after a double-header of Australia and Bahrain. The Hanoi race will be followed by China before the second new addition, the Dutch Grand Prix, on May 3 to kick off the European leg of the season.

This week, the Spanish Grand Prix confirmed a new one-year extension -- it will take place a week after the race at Zandvoort.
