Hopefully Canda will 100% be confirmed soon, looks like a good line up tbh.

Great to see Brazil as the last round again! Slightly disappointing that Australia still isn't the first round, but a fairly good calendar all in all.

Didn't even know that the track in Korea was already being built. Are there plans for that released?

Good to see Brazil back to its place again. I think the only other track that could be used for the finale is Suzuka.

Have to say, this looks like the best calendar for quite a while. Great to have at least one of the classic races back, good to have another new venue even if it's bound to be another bland Tilkedrome, and great to see the season a bit more spread out over the year. And yes, it'll be great to have Interlagos back as the last race!
Also, it'll be great if we do get 19 GPs next season, effectively for the first time(yeah, we technically had 19 in 2005, but one of them was Indy... :P).

Yes! Brazil is back in it's rightful place :D

No, Brazil's rightful place is as round 2, not the final round, that belongs to Japan. Although I admit Brazil is a good closer. WTF with Bahrain 1st? That's ridiculous. It should look like this:

Australia
Brazil
Spain
Turkey
Monaco
Canada*
Europe
Great Britain
Germany
Hungary
Belgium
Italy
Singapore
China
Korea
Malaysia
Bahrain
Abu Dhabi
Japan

brawn (JB / RB) or red bull (MW/SV) will win titles as all other teams are out of contention!!!

so Brawn & Red Bull will have numbers 1 - 4 between them!!! :D well deserved

I don't mind Bahrain being 1st TBH. In 2006 it was alright.

Or Australia, or USA or Mexico or .... there are many 'traditional' opening and closing rounds. Brazil is just as much one of them now.

There is something special about getting up at 3am to watch the first F1 race of the year. It was even better during the years when the Sebring 12 hour would co-inside with the race and you could watch both in 1 night. Bahrain as the opening round just sucks.

Yeah, but even when the Australian GP is first now, the later start time means we end up watching it at the time we've always normally watched the Malaysian GP, so the novelty of the 3AM start is gone anyway

That Korea track has got a nice Dick Dasterdly style shortcut between turns 3 and 12

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

LOL! But Schumacher's not gonna return, and the chance of Nelson getting a drive are slim!

I like that one corner around the harbour and that it has one very high speed bit and a twisty bit, that should give us some variations in setups. But other than that it looks a bit dull.

I prefer to reserve judgment until we see at least an onboard video or something.

I maintain once again that countries should build their GP circuits BEFORE applying to host a Grand Prix. At least give it some semblance of not being a purely commercial decision.

Hmm I knew that Abu Dhabi as final round was a promotional debut speciality, however even in it's current position for 2010, still a bit dificult for the logistic pov.
