22-race 2014 F1 calendar announced

The FIA's World Motor Sport Council has confirmed a 22-race calendar for the 2014 Formula 1 season.

The schedule adds the Grand Prix of America in New Jersey as a provisional fixture, with the street event having been absent from the previous draft leaked at the start of the month.

During the Singapore GP weekend it was revealed that the FIA was set to leave a slot open for New Jersey after all.

Mexico and Korea are also listed as provisional.

The new season will again start in Australia on March 16, followed by races in Malaysia and Bahrain, which moves to the third slot rather than the fifth it had in the draft schedule.

The season, the longest in Formula 1 history, will end on November 30 in Brazil.
