Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes AMG F1 W09, leads Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari SF71H, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB14, Romain Grosjean, Haas F1 Team VF-18, Nico Hulkenberg, Renault Sport F1 Team R.S. 18, and the remainder of the field at the start

Although it still needs to be formally approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council on October 12, it's unlikely many changes will be made.

The season will begin in Australia on March 17 and finish on December 1 in Abu Dhabi.

The order of some races have been shuffled around compared to this season. The Singapore GP will now form a back-to-back with Russia on September 22/9, while Mexico will take place the weekend before the United States GP.

Speaking after the release of the calendar, F1 commercial chief Sean Bratches said he was delighted that contracts had been extended with Germany and Japan in the past week.

"The renewal of the Japanese Grand Prix and the confirmation of the German Grand Prix are both examples of our direction to place fans at the heart of Formula 1, a vision shared with all our promoters," he said.

2019 F1 draft calendar:

Date Grand Prix Venue 17th March Australia Melbourne 31st March Bahrain Sakhir 14th April China Shanghai 28th April Azerbaijan Baku 12th May Spain Barcelona 26th May Monaco Monaco 9th June Canada Montreal 23rd June France Paul Ricard 30th June Austria Red Bull Ring 14th July Great Britain Silverstone 28th July Germany Hockenheim 4th August Hungary Hungaroring 1st September Belgium Spa 8th September Italy Monza 22nd September Singapore Singapore 29th September Russia Sochi 13th October Japan Suzuka 27th October Mexico Mexico City 3rd November USA Austin 17th November Brazil Interlagos 1st December Abu Dhabi Yas Marina
