PARIS - Formula One will have two races in Spain next season with Madrid's new street circuit making its debut in September and Italy's Imola dropping off the 24-round calendar, and the governing FIA announced on June 10.

Melbourne's Australian Grand Prix will again be the season-opener on March 8 with China's Shanghai circuit hosting the second round a week later, as the sport enters a new engine era with Cadillac also arriving as an 11th team.

Japan will be Round 3 as a standalone event on March 29.

Monaco will be the first European round on June 7, swapping dates with Canada, whose race in Montreal moves to May 24 and follows Miami on May 3.

Canada, which clashes with the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race this year, is now set to overlap instead with the Indianapolis 500.
