  • The Austrian and Czech Republic Grand Prix swapped places, with the Czech Republic hosting the tenth round, while Austria hosts the eleventh round.
  • The British Grand Prix was scheduled to move from Silverstone to the new Circuit of Wales, but construction on the new track had not commenced.[15] The two circuits reached a deal that would have seen Silverstone continue to host the British Grand Prix in 2017, with an option to host the 2018 race.[9]
