A brand new Formula 1 2020 calendar has been devised ahead of a return to action.
Eight races have been confirmed, including a double-header at Silverstone, as the motorsport championship prepares to finally kick-start the season.
The Australian Grand Prix should have hosted the opening race of the 2020 calendar in March, but was cancelled on the eve of practice after one of the F1 team members fell ill with the virus.
The latest news of a revised calendar will bring a spot of joy to fans around the world who will be longing for a slice of their favourite sport.
Check out newly revised F1 2020 calendar below.

When will the Formula 1 season end?
By the end of this calendar, eight races will have taken place instead of the originally planned 15. A further seven races were due to be held after 6th September – the date for the Italian Grand Prix – and they can all be expected to go ahead in some capacity, potentially within the same time frame as originally intended.
However, the eight races confirmed are all based in Europe, making the complex logistics easier to navigate than the final stretch of the calendar – a world tour ranging from Singapore to Brazil, from Russia to Mexico. Much will depend on whether the restart is a smooth one, and if it goes off without a hitch, the case will build for more races further afield, by which point the progress of the virus may have hopefully slowed.
