The FIA last week announced the provisional calendar for the 2014 Formula one season with 22 extra races, the first time in the sports history that more than 20 races will take place in a race season, the new editions to the calendar will be the race in new jersey and Sochi, Russia races returning to the grand prix calendar will be the Austria and Mexico with circuit now named the Red Bull ring making its return after a ten year absence and Mexico a twenty one year absence.

The full calendar will be announced in December after the seasons conclusion, the announcement of more new races will make the teams work harder than ever to impress at these new tracks. Talk or Mexico emerged with McLaren driver Sergio Perez becoming the new sensation in Mexico and with edition of Estiban Gutierrez most people would think it was only right for F1 to return to Mexico, the other edition of New Jersey had been in the pipeline for some time with supposed to happen this year but fell through when organisers couldn’t come up with the money according to Ecclestone but recently it seems the organisers have produced the finances to stage the race, Russia had always been talking about staging a race but only know it seems to have finally gathered movement and looks set to take place next year, Austria makes a return after Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz bought the track from the previous owners and reached an agreement with Ecclestone. This announcement is bound to get fans excited at the thought of more races then ever which will hopefully bring more excitement to the sport. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has said that the main target for the rest of the season is finish ahead of Ferrari in the constructors championship, the Brackley based team who have impressed immensely in the last 12 months since signing former champion Hamilton have scored three wins, four podiums and seven pole positions have been the big improvers to everyone’ shock and for them to finish second behind Red Bull would be a massive achievement for a team that could only manage one win in their first three years.
