The 2018 Formula One season will see races on three successive weekends for the first time in the sport's history.

After the returning French Grand Prix on June 24, making its first appearance on the schedule since 2008, teams will head to the Red Bull Ring in Austria before concluding the hectic stretch at Silverstone on July 8.

Two weeks later the Hockenheimring makes its return to the calendar having been dropped for 2017 - the 21-race schedule leading to increased congestion.

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix has been moved from June to April, while the Russian event switches to a September date that is one week before the race in Suzuka, Japan.

The China and Singapore grands prix remain subject to confirmation from the commercial rights holder.
