===Calendar Changes===
The 2011 Bahrain Grand Prix was due to be held on the 13th of March, but was postponed on the 21st of February due to civil unrest in Bahrain resulting from the Arab Spring. On the 3rd of June, it was announced that the race was to be held on the 30th of October, as round 17 of 20, with the Indian Grand Prix being placed as the season finale. However, the race organisers chose to cancel the event, and the Indian Grand Prix was put back into its original position.
Changes from the 2010 calendar:
* Not raced in 2010, but raced in 2011:
** The Indian Grand Prix.
* Raced in 2010, but not in 2011:
** The Bahrain Grand Prix (see above paragraph).
* Race name changes:
** The Malaysian Grand Prix changed its name to the "Malaysia Grand Prix" to promote the country.
** The Chinese Grand Prix gained sponsorship from UBS.
** Telefónica choose not to sponsor the Spanish Grand Prix and the European Grand Prix.
** The Turkish Grand Prix gained DHL sponsorship.
** The Belgian Grand Prix gained Shell sponsorship.
* Circuit changes:
** The German Grand Prix moved from the Hockenheimring to the Nürburgring, as with the race's policy.
* Movement in the calendar:
** With the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix, the Australian Grand Prix became the season opener again.
** The Turkish Grand Prix was moved to after the Chinese Grand Prix, which became round 4.
** The Indian Grand Prix was originally round 18, which became round 17.
** The Brazilian Grand Prix and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix swapped positions at the rear of the calendar, meaning that the Brazilian Grand Prix became the season-ender again.
