The race calendar witnesses changes to the geographical format, helping to create a precise flow across continents. For this reason, the Monaco Grand Prix has been moved from the bank holiday weekend to June 05-07 with the Canadian race taking its place after the Miami Grand Prix, making transport of equipment more efficient.
This creates a larger European leg across summer months, which will also include Madrid F1 debut replacing Imola.
