Other key changes include the removal of the Malaysian Grand Prix and the reappearance of the German Grand Prix. Furthermore, the Russian race is moving from April to September, plus the Azerbaijan round is going to take place in April instead of June.

Otherwise, the 2018 timetable looks very similar to 2017's.
