Today the FIA confirmed the list of races we can look forward to in 2015. It's going to be a 20 race Championship with the addition of the Mexican Grand Prix. 

Formula One returns to Mexico for the first time since 1992, with it being the only addition to this season's track lineup. As has become the norm, the season will get underway in Melbourne on March 15th, with the season ending in Abu Dhabi on November 29th. 

There have been concerns recently that a season with more than 19 races could be a problem both logistically and financially, with some teams not having the same sort of budget as Red Bull or Ferrari. But the FIA have confirmed the 2015 Formula One Championship will consist of 20 races.

At Monza this weekend a provisional race calendar was leaked, and the official announcement isn't too different to the leaked arrangement.

The British Grand Prix maintains it's current spot of July 5th, with all the European races being bunched together, to help with the logistics problem.

One thing that won't please current teams is the two week gap between the first two 'flyaway' races of the season in Australia and Malaysia.

Also there's no place for a return to India, as it lost it's place for 2014, with a supposed return in an early season slot, but it appears India will have to wait until 2016. Also there's no New Jersey Grand Prix. Negotiations were in place for a second US GP, but it won't happen in 2015.
