The Bahrain-Saudi calendar slot will instead run in Malaysia, with Singapore following the next weekend. End-of-season options, including Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Imola and Istanbul Park, are under review as organisers weigh hosting fees and weather challenges.

Aston Martin show progress with upgrades but Alonso starts 16th. Malaysia race to feature this October, with possible Imola finale in doubt.
