The FIA has announced a 20-race calendar for the 2015 Formula 1 season, equalling the longest schedule in grand prix racing history.
A draft calendar had already been circulated to teams during the Italian Grand Prix, as revealed by AUTOSPORT last Sunday, and the World Motor Sport Council ratified it in Friday's meeting in Beijing.
The only change compared to the draft version is the swapping of dates between the United States and the Mexican Grands Prix - which returns to the calendar next year after a 23-year absence.
The Japanese Grand Prix has been set to September 27, one week after the race in Singapore.
The 2015 campaign will kick off on March 15 in Australia and will finish in Abu Dhabi on November 29.
