2011 F1GP calendarposted in F103 | 11 | 2010

THE FIA has confirmed the grand prix calendar for 2011. The hectic schedule has stretched to 20 races with the inclusion of the new India Grand Prix, though the circuit in Delhi is listed at provisional — as is the case with the race in Shanghai — subject to the circuits being homologated by the FIA

The season — which Bathgate's Paul di Resta will be hoping to line up for in his Force India racer (pictured) — will begin in Bahrain on March 13, and Brazil will move back to its season finale slot on November 27.
