F1 considering new venues and alternative layouts on full 2020 calendar

Formula One is still considering holding races at venues not on the original 2020 calendar and is also toying with the idea of using an alternative layout in Bahrain should a second race be held at the circuit.

The first eight races of the revised calendar were announced earlier this month, with the season due to get underway behind closed doors on July 5 in Austria. F1 is planning to announce the rest of its 2020 schedule before the first race takes place, with the aim of continuing the series outside of Europe to reach a total of between 15 and 18 races.
