No Indian Grand Prix in 2015 as well

Tough luck for Indian F1 fans! For those who have been hoping with their fingers crossed for the Indian Grand Prix to return in 2015, well, you’ll have to keep them crossed a little while longer as the calendar for the 2015 Formula 1 season is out, and India is not on it.

The FIA has confirmed the year will feature 20 races in 2015, but India is nowhere to be seen on the calendar. The season will start at Albert Park in Melbourne, Australia on the March 15, 2015 and the calendar is exactly the same as it is for 2014 with the addition of Mexico on November 1 before the Brazilian leg of the season. Mexico returns to the F1 calendar after a gap of 22 years and will be held at the same circuit where the last Grand Prix was held back in 1992 at Mexico City’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

The season will conclude on the November 29, 2015  at Abu Dhabi.
