Hello, empty grandstands...

... Because we have a mostly* finalised race calendar.
It looks a little like this:
Mar 14 - Bahrain (Sakhir)
Mar 28 - Australia (Melbourne)
Apr 4 - Malaysia (Sepang)
Apr 18 - China (Shanghai)
May 9 - Spain (Barcelona)
May 23 - Monaco (Monte Carlo)
May 30 - Turkey (Istanbul)
Jun 13 - Canada (Montreal, provisional*)
Jun 27 - Europe (Valencia)
Jul 11 - Great Britain (Donington Park)
Jul 25 - Germany (Hockenheim)
Aug 1 - Hungary (Budapest)
Aug 29 - Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps)
Sep 12 - Italy (Monza)
Sep 26 - Singapore
Oct 3 - Japan (Suzuka)
Oct 17 - South Korea (Yongam)
Oct 31 - Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina)
Nov 14 - Brazil (Interlagos)
I like that everyone's suddenly making a big thing about Korea. What kind of a following does f1 have in Korea ? I for one, have no idea. Didn't the Korean government pretty much, only just acknowledge it as something slightly nobler than fancy global warming?

Then of course there's Donington not being a provisional. I guess that means Silverstone is gone for good now? I'll miss it - MotoGP guys, you had better look after it! Baww baww, etc.

It'll be cool to see Hockenheim again, all I really remember it for is 2005 (?) with Villeneuve driving into everyone ever. Rubens also got his maiden win here in 2000, although he might not even have a seat next year, so let's just touch wood and hope all goes well.

*Damn Canadians ruining everything.
