The FIA has announced a 21-race calendar for the 2012 Formula 1 season.
All 20 events on this year's series are retained, with the new United States Grand Prix at Austin in Texas added in mid-June. The calendar features six pairs of back-to-back events where grands prix take place just a week apart.
There had been question marks over the future of the Turkish GP, and this event appears with an asterisk and a "subject to confirmation" note.
The Bahrain GP is returned to its position as season opener after this season's postponement due to the political unrest in the country.
