Calendar changes

Rule changes

  • Starting in 2016, the number of pre-season tests will be reduced from three to two.[41]
  • The process new drivers go through in order to qualify for a superlicence will be changed,[42] with additional restrictions put in place. Applicants must be at least eighteen years old, hold a valid driver's licence for roadgoing cars, and will be required to spend at least two seasons competing in recognised feeder series. The changes were introduced following controversy over Max Verstappen qualifying for a superlicence at the age of sixteen after a single season competing in European Formula 3.

Footnotes

  1. ^ The name "Baku Street Circuit" has been used to refer to three different circuits used by Formula One, the FIA GT Series and the Blancpain Sprint Series. The proposed European Grand Prix circuit will be based around Azadliq Avenue.[20]
