Too much? Formula One schedule first triple-header

It has been feared the hectic schedule would place too much pressure on the sport's teams.

Formula One is set for its first triple-header after the sport's governing body approved a 21-race calendar for next season.

The returning French Grand Prix, pencilled in for June 24, will kick off a streak of three consecutive races, with the Austrian Grand Prix to follow a week later, and the British Grand Prix to be staged at Silverstone on July 8.
