F1's future calendar 07/04/08 - autoweek.com

The prospect of a 20-race Formula One calendar, with three events in the Gulf region, received broad support during the Motor Sport Business Forum Middle East during the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend.   McLaren boss Ron Dennis praised F1's expansion into new markets and said that 20 races would be the teams' logistical limit. Honda Racing's Nick Fry, Force India's Colin Kolles and Red Bull's Christian Horner echoed his remarks.   The 2008 championship is made up of 18 races, after 17 last year and a record 19 in 2005. With several new events in the pipeline, even 20 might not be enough to save all of the traditional venues. The Middle East's races would be in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Qatar (still questionable), and those in Asia would be in Fuji/Suzuka, Kuala Lumpur, New Delhi, Seoul, Shanghai and Singapore. The Formula One group also wants to include Indianapolis, Montreal, Melbourne and Sao Paulo. The Australian Grand Prix, the British Grand Prix and the possible Qatar Grand Prix are the events most likely to be dropped.   Related news:   y back to top
