A draft calendar for the 2015 season doing the rounds at Monza on Sunday shows 20 races.
The first part of the calendar shows little change from 2014, with all events held in the same order and almost the same date.
However, the latter stages of the season witness the return of the Mexican Grand Prix which will form a double-header with the United States Grand Prix in Austin.
The addition of Mexico, which sees the calendar expand to 20 races for only the second time in the history of the Formula One World Championship, means the season will run until the end of November, the Abu Dhabi event scheduled for 29 November.
Things are due to get even busier in 2016 when Azerbaijan joins the calendar, though this could be at the expense of an existing race.
New Jersey (yawn) doesn't get a mention, whilst there is still no sign of a reprieve for India, Korea or Turkey, the latter, though played out to near empty grandstands, highly popular with TV viewers and drivers alike.
