F2, F3 calendars confirmed for 2019

The FIA has confirmed the calendars for both Formula 2 and the new Formula 3 series that will feature on the undercard of Formula 1 events in 2019.

Following the latest meeting of the World Motor Sport Council on Wednesday in St. Petersburg, the FIA communicated the calendars for both support series.

F2's calendar for next year is unchanged from 2018, featuring 12 rounds again. The new F2 season will start in Bahrain on March 30 and culminate at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 1.

The new FIA Formula 3 Championship will begin in 2019 in place of GP3, with the new series set to debut at the Spanish Grand Prix in May.

F3 will visit France, Austria, Great Britain, Hungary, Belgium and Italy, before staging its season finale at the Sochi Autodrom in Russia on September 29. It marks a one-round reduction on the final GP3 season in 2018, which ended in Abu Dhabi alongside F1 and F2.
