FIA Finalizes 2018 Formula One Calendar


The FIA has just published the finalized calendar for the 2018 Formula One season with two famed Grands Prix returning next year.

On June 24, the French Grand Prix will return to the calendar and take place at the gorgeous Circuit Paul Ricard in LaCastellet. Additionally, the German Grand Prix is returning, scheduled for July 22 at the Hockenheimring.
