The start of the 2016 F1 season has been brought forward to March as part of a host of date changes to the provisional schedule agreed by the FIA.
Although next season's calendar remains at a record 21 races, the dates of eight events have been changed from the original draft list published in July, in the wake of a World Motor Sport Council meeting on Wednesday.
If you have already purchased tickets for one of the changed event dates then your existing booking will be valid for the new dates. If you have any concerns about your ability to attend on the new date then please contact us. The latest calendar is still provisional so we recommend booking any accommodation and travel on a flexible basis or waiting until the final calendar is released.
