Todt: “The 1 Formula 2012 World Championship will consist of 20 races”
di Staff7 June, 2011
FIA President Jean Todt has said there is "absolutely" no way the 2012 Formula 1 season will have 21 races, despite the provisional calendar published by the Board of Directors saying otherwise.
“Absolutely not,” Todt told Diario Sport in an interview when asked if there will be 21 races in 2012.
“There are 21 dates, but the championship will be 20 Grands Prix.”
The ruling body the World Motor Sport Council released a calendar with 21 events last week, but the Turkish Grand Prix appeared with an asterisk and a "subject to confirmation" note.
Despite this, Todt admitted that it is not yet clear which event will be eliminated from the calendar.
“It's not known what it will be, but the F1 championship will be 20 races,” he added.
