Mexico City looks set to host a Formula One grand prix next year for the first time since 1992 while New Jersey, whose debut was postponed this season, is again absent from a draft 21-race calendar seen by teams and broadcasters.
Team sources, sent the list by commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone, expressed some scepticism about the number of races, however.
“It remains to be seen which one is dropped,” one team principal said at the Italian Grand Prix, the last European round of this season.
If approved as it stands by the governing International Automobile Federation at a world motorsport council meeting in Croatia later this month, the draft calendar would have more races than ever before.
The previous record is 20, with 19 held this year.
Mexico, a new grand prix in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi and South Korea all have asterisks against their slots indicating they are subject to contract and track approval.
