Despite the omission of Valencia and the British GP at Silverstone losing its July slot for only the fifth time in the event's history, the calendar predominantly follows the same path as the 2012 campaign.
In a minor tweak, Japan and Korea have swapped positions while both the German and Belgian GPs have been brought forward by a week either side of the now-traditional mid-season August break.
Meanwhile, the much-anticipated inaugural street race in New Jersey has been postponed until 2014, with F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone confirming that although race organisers had run out of time to prove its state of readiness he remains fully committed to the event.
There was speculation that a French, Austrian or Turkish GP could return to the schedule and the German race was moved forward a week, to create a gap on July 21, but no deal could be put in place for a 20th race.
F1 itself will return to action at the start of February when the first of three four-day tests commence on February 5th at Jerez.
