PARIS—South Korea will make its Formula One debut in October next year while Canada will return to the calendar subject to contract negotiations, the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) said on Monday.

The season, expanded to 19 races for the first time since 2005, will start in Bahrain on March 14.

Australia shifts to the second slot on March 28, with Malaysia a week later.

Canada has been pencilled in for a return on June 13 while South Korea comes in for the first time on October 17. The championship ends in Brazil on Nov. 14.

The FIA said the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul would be moved from May 30 to Canada's slot if contract negotiations with the Montreal organisers are not completed.

The races in Australia and Abu Dhabi will start at 1700 local time, Malaysia at 1600 local and Singapore at 2000.
