The 2017 calendar was released /confirmed November 30th 2016. Provisional in September.
2018 was confirmed even later.... December 7th.
What is the rush 2for 019? Liberty are still negotiaring. When it is done we will know.
correct me if I'm wrong, Chris. You are right when you mention that the calendars were confirmed late in previous years.
However, that was 'confirmation', in that the calendar was usually released prior to the summer break, and that some events were still listed with * meaning subject to homologation or final confirmation.
But now there is nothing.
Even more worrying is that I read this:
The following tracks held races in 2018 but are yet to be confirmed on the 2019 schedule:

Hi guys, looking for some recommendations for F1 stat sites. I have a Forix account but they are disappointing at best, I found. I used to use racing-reference.info but with their new layout, I find I can no longer copy-paste the data on to an Excel sheet.
Supposedly the German Grand Prix is on for 2019 - Hockenheim being the venue, and they will have to pay around 12 million euro to host the event, that's a 10 million discount.
Apparently this one was holding up the calendar, which is due for release this week
Formula 1 teams have approved a plan to introduce rear wing rain lights in 2019 to help the cars stand out more clearly in low visibility conditions, Autosport has learned.
At the post-Spanish Grand Prix test earlier this year, Lewis Hamilton trialled a version of the vertical LED light strips as part of an evaluation study by the FIA.
The extra flashing lights, fitted higher up than the traditional rain light at the rear of the car, are believed to help in conditions such as heavy spray.
The sunny conditions in Spain meant that the test could only prove that the lights functioned correctly, and a proposal to make it mandatory for 2019 was put forward to the teams during a recent vote at a technical regulations meeting.
With teams unanimously backing the plan, ratification should now be a formality before the rear wing lights are officially inserted into the rules.
Rear endplate lights have also been used in the World Endurance Championship and F1's intended use of the technology is believed to make it the first practical single-seater application.
Because Generation Entitlement have no patience and want everything yesterday.
And seriously what the fuck? Patting yourself on the back for glueing an LED strip to the rear wing? Grrrrrr we've been doing that for years with RC models, where'd you think half the UFO reports originate from?
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.
