American Gp - Laguna Seca
Brazilian GP - Interlagos

The F1 season is far too long imo, 15-17 races is enough.

Smokey you got in before me - Australian GP - Adelaide!! Please!!!

[chillibowl]

i cant believe we are already talking about 2010
well since i dont know much about the future i will go by a movie of the same name and predict a race on the moon thereby removing the need for all those fancy aero devices and force the teams to focus soley on mechanical grip
or would they need more aero in space?

i only thought of it because when looking around youtube i saw some clips of Senna, Prost and Co around adelaide. Only ever seen one race from there, i was 9 and it was 1994. Something like that has a lasting impression on a young boy.

You'd need serious aero, the atmosphere is so thin that you'd have to have MASSIVE wings even to get a little effect, add to that the reduced mechanical grip for lower gravity and you'll have almost no grip at all. Huge top speeds due to virtually no drag (little atmosphere offering little resistance) and lower effective weight although mass is the same due to lower gravity.
Then we'll see who's best

Bahrain is weekend play ground for the saudis, but its not part of saudi arabia.

It depends how far you want to delve into fantasy in predicting a 2010 F1 calander, for realistically the likes of Brands Hatch, Donington, Jerez and the 'old' Hockenheim will feature on a Formula 1 schedule.

For what its worth, I predict the following events (in no particular order):
1. Australian GP (Albert Park)
2. Malaysian GP (Sepang)
3. Bahrain GP (Sakir)
4. Catalunya GP (Barcelona)
5. Spanish GP (Valencia)
6. US GP (Indianapolis)
7. Las Vegas GP (Las Vegas)
8. Canadian GP (Montreal)
9. British GP (Silverstone)
10. German GP (Hockenheim/Nurburgring)
11. French GP (Magny Cours)
12. Hungarian GP (Budapest)
13. Belgian GP (Spa)
14. Italian GP (Monza)
15. Korean GP
16. Russian GP
17. Japanese GP (Fuji)
18. Mexican GP (Cancun)

Much as it's nice to fantasise, I can see the current trend continuing. Lots of racetracks in coutnries with no interest in racing, classic circuits axed or Tilkefied, and Suzuka never coming back, unless Tilke has some ideas for 'improving' it.

Considering the teams have said they'll only do 20 rounds a year unless F1 becomes cheaper, I would have to agree with you.

Expect an announcement tomorrow for Spoon Curve to be converted into a 15m radius hairpin

Passing!

I'd consider that more a 2011 calendar.

[f1manoz]

I don't expect the current calendar to change much if at all in the next five years. Perhaps a new grand prix here or there at the expense of one of the 'traditional' grand prix (Bernie has been quiet about Silverstone lately?!?!) but I don't forsee a calendar any longer than 17-18 races.

[formula1fan]

I've thought about a Czech GP at Brno and a Qatari GP at Losail. But, then again, we already have a GP in the Middle East (Bahrain)! Also, what about bringing back Argentina, Mexico, Portugal and South Africa?
