FIA cuts F1 season

[Wizzo]

The Formula One calendar will be trimmed to 17 grands prix next year with Germany and Italy each losing one of their two races, the governing body said on Tuesday. The International Automobile Federation (FIA) said in a statement that the calendar had been approved by its World Motor Sport Council.

While the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps returns after being cancelled this year, there were no slots for either the San Marino or European Grand Prix.
