Organisers of the Australian Grand Prix have confirmed that their 2016 event will take place from March 18-20, moving the start of the season forwards by two weeks.
A provisional calendar earlier this year had listed the Australian Grand Prix as taking place on April 3, but that has now been moved to March 20.
The tweak is likely to mean that other events - including pre-season testing, have been shifted around, with another version of the 2016 calendar expected to be released later on Wednesday.
