"Following the recent law changes this race was also made possible with the instrumental support of our Swiss partner, Julius Baer." The last race in Switzerland was held at the Bremgarten circuit, near Berne, in 1954. While there was a 1982 Swiss Formula One Grand Prix, it was held at the Dijon-Prenois circuit in France. The 2017/18 calendar was published after a meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Paris.
