The F1 calendar will not break the 20-race barrier in 2015, Bernie Ecclestone has revealed.<\/p>\n
In recent years, teams have expressed concerns that organising as many as twenty races in a single season would put unacceptable stress on personnel.<\/p>\n
It won’t happen next season, F1 chief executive Ecclestone admitted to Austria’s Kleine Zeitung newspaper.<\/p>\n
Asked how many races will be on the 2015 schedule, he said: “The same as this year — so 19.”<\/p>\n
However, that may be at the expense of one or two existing races.<\/p>\n
When asked specifically about the reportedly incoming Azerbaijan, and the project in New York, he said: “We want to go to Azerbaijan for a street race.<\/p>\n
“As for New York, we are still talking to them.”<\/p>\n
One provisional race date on the 2015 schedule is already known. Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper says tickets for the Austrian grand prix on June 21 are already on sale.<\/p>\n
