This comes out of the calendar, which the Formula 1 released on Friday.

For another two weeks later, Formula 1 wants to be back in Europe in Barcelona.

After a longer phase with race on the old continent, overseas continues. And like: by Sochi in Russia on September 25 on Singapore on October 2 and Suzuka in Japan on October 9th, there is one of the so-called triple headers dreaded by all the feared triple headers: three races on three consecutive weekends.
