F1 2018 calendar, schedule, testing dates, driver line-up and more. The 2018 Formula 1 season will see the return of the French Grand Prix for the first time since 2008.

F1 2018 is yet another highly anticipated season of high-octane racing action with Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton both chasing a fifth world title. The Brit drew level with Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel, his closest rival over the season, in the all-time list by triumphing with two races to spare. Now in 2018, the fight wil continue, as both drivers will look to become just the third man in history to win five world titles: Juan Manuel Fangio (5) and Michael Schumacher (7) are the other.

The 2018 Formula One season will also see the return of the French Grand Prix for the first time since 2008 while the Malaysian Grand Prix drops off the calendar after 19 consecutive runnings.
