Some dates for your 2006 diary...?
Next year, according to Autosport, the Formula 1 World championship will get underway at Bahrain on March 12th. How weird is that?

I must say, I will miss sitting up through the night, kept awake by sheer anticipation and excitment!

Good news, however, is that we will end the season at Interlagos, in November. This was the case last season of course and I thought it was a marvellous end to the season. I dare say, Shanghai won't be the greatest season ending event later next month.....

Other dates that look to be confirmed are Australia on April 2nd, USA on July 2nd and Canada on July 16th.

josvandeperre should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Query : why is it weird ?

Comment : Silverstone think they have July 16

In fact : the likelihood is Canada will be back to back with Indy again - best guess June 25

Yawn : but it will all get messed up by some other big sporting event in June

Montmeló is slated for May 14th and Indy says it's on July 2nd. Canada will either be a week before or after Indy.

The 2006 Football World Cup runs from June 9th to July 9th. That surely is influencing the calendar...

Alfa Fan has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Really disappointed Bahrain is Round 1. Loved the unique feeling of the championship starting in Melbourne at 3am in the morning.

It will be weird kicking off the season at bahrain because the place is a little, well, antiseptic.

Kicking off the season (or indeed ending it) in Australia has always been popular because of the atmosphere.

They may lose at every sport under the sun, but Aussies know how to make a big event.

It's definitely better to start the season at Bahrain on a Sunday instead of finishing the GP2 championship in Thursday/Friday...

The GP2 championship won't visit Bahrain at the same time as F1 though.

Next years Austrailian GP is being moved back so it doesnt clash with the commonwealth games being held in Melbourne. Presumably it will go back to its usual slot in 2007

GP's have clashed with World Cup before, ususally Canada - so what's all the fuss about!

However, i would like to see the season perhaps start a little earlier and end a little later - i.e, Late Feb, beg March that's the only way to keep the current number of races and spread it out isn't it. So the Interlagos November date would be good- Or have it at end of January like late 70's early 80's and then a ridiculous 6 week gap until the next round!!

Yeah... But the tradition I mean, in motoracing... or Bahrain is a reference in this sport ? Oh, maybe the petrol... or something.

No - but the COmmonwealth Games are being held in Melbourne and many of the sports are being held in venues in and around Albert Park.

I think the question here relates to the June problem.Canadians are hardly interested in soccer anyway,or Americans for that matter,so it would make sense to hold those races on their usual June dates? Or is the whole of June to be blocked?

The Melbourne Aquatic Center (the home of the melbourne swimming events at the commonwealth games) is on the left of Turn 3.. (in 2001, JV would have ended up through its front door if not for the catch fencing above the concrete).

The South Melbourne Soccer Club is on the exit of Turn 4 (where soccer games are likely to be held).

all the indoor sports such as Badminton, Volleyball and all that are to be held at the aquatic center as well !

AFAIK it is not. A few weeks ago the FIA issued a list of 20 dates with no venues,including 3 on sucessive weekends in June,leading to asumption of a 3 race 'north american temporada' Now they are saying 19 races with the US & Canada in July!

If you continue to track back, you'll realise that the season started at Buenos Aires. Even before Argentina had a F1 World Champioship race (starting from 1953), since the end of WWII many of the top Grand Prix teams did a trip to this SouthAmerican country to do many races at the beggining of each year (between 1947-48 to 1960, since 1972 the circus was in parallel with Brazil, moving the start definitively to that country in 1982, despite a brief return of F1 to Argentina in 1995-98).
