The provisional 2019 calendar was released in the days before the Misano GP, with little changed from this year. There are again 19 races – the threat of a 20th round in Mexico having been averted.
The year begins as usual in Qatar on March 10, and terminates in Valencia on November 17; and the order of events is unchanged.
Significantly, the British GP is still marked down for Silverstone, in spite of the disastrous resurfacing problems that cause cancellation a fortnight ago. There is some potential for this to change, however.
Less likely to change, the German GP. Threats at this year’s event that it would be the last at the Sachsenring were hollow, and the pocket-handkerchief track outside Chemnitz has been confirmed for 2019, with a statement from promoters ADAC that they have “intensified their commitment to the event,” and hope it will continue at the circuit.
A few days later came confirmation that the San Marino GP will stay at Misano until 2021.
