The FIA World Motor Sport Council has now issued an official 2015 schedule that includes 20 races, with the Mexico GP the only addition to this year's calendar.

Changes to a preliminary schedule that had been circulating include Austin now running before Mexico, and Japan being moved forward to run back-to-back with Singapore, leaving Russia as a stand-alone event.

There will be anxious faces at COTA given that many Mexican fans that have been travelling to the USA may now focus on their home race.
