F1 back in France
The French Grand Prix returns to the Formula 1 calendar in 2018 for the first time in 10 years. The race at Paul Ricard, inland from Marseille, will be on June 24, avoiding a clash with the Le Mans 24 Hours on June 16-17, followed by Austria on July 1 and Great Britain on July 8 to form the first tripleheader of weekends. The German Grand Prix also returns next year while Malaysia drops off the 21-race calendar.
