Chase Carey has said that the 2020 Formula 1 calendar will be announced in "the next few weeks", with the Dutch Grand Prix to make its return and the Vietnam Grand Prix to make its debut.

The much anticipated calendar will have a different look to it, with the German Grand Prix set to be dropped - despite last month's incredibly exciting race - and the future of the Spanish Grand Prix uncertain.

Carey said in a phone call with Wall Street analysts: “We expect to announce the 2020 calendar in the next few weeks, I think it’s largely finalised now.

“In general we expect the number of races in the next few years to increase a bit. There’s a limit to by how much, but I think we do expect it to go up marginally. As we announce the calendar we will provide more insights as to when and where that occurs.

“Adding a couple of races is a factor. I think we are very excited about the demand interest, the number of places that want to host a race, and obviously, supply and demand is important."
