The FIA has released a provisional calendar for the 2013 season which has been circulated between the teams in Singapore on Thursday.
The first race of the season, the Australian Grand Prix, will be held on March 17th, the same weekend as this years calendar.
The season then ends on November 24th in Brazil, which is again the same weekend as this season.
The biggest change surrounds the European GP which has been dropped in favour of the GP of America to be held in New Jersey. Valencia will now rotate on a yearly-basis with Barcelona as the Spanish GP.
The five-week break also remains for 2013 between the Hungarian GP and the Belgium GP.
Several races remain unconfirmed due to contractual uncertainty.
