LONDON, England - Formula 1's chief executive Bernie Ecclestone is not denying the accuracy of a "leaked" 2016 race calendar.
On Wednesday (Apr 29 2015) the organisers of the Australian GP triggered the story by announcing that the Melbourne opener next year will be held in early April - the first time in three decades that the season will begin so late.
"I'm not bothered by the (April 3) date," race chief Andrew Westacott told local Fairfax Media. "I'm very pleased to have it confirmed so early."
