At the most recent meeting of its World Motor Sport Council on Friday, the FIA, Formula 1's governing body, confirmed the calendar for the sport's 2019 season.
There will be a record 21 grands prix, which will be only the third time in F1 history that such a high number has been held, the previous being in 2016 and the current 2018 season.
Sadly, organizers of the proposed Miami Grand Prix weren't able to submit a sufficient bid in time for the 2019 season cutoff. And Miami could also miss out hosting a race in the 2020 season as there are rumors Vietnam already has an agreement in place for a new race.
Below is the calendar for the 2019 Formula 1 World Championship:
March 17 - Australian Grand Prix
March 31 - Bahrain Grand Prix
April 14 - Chinese Grand Prix
April 28 - Azerbaijan Grand Prix
May 12 - Spanish Grand Prix
May 26 - Monaco Grand Prix
June 9 - Canadian Grand Prix
June 23 - French Grand Prix
