    Bahrain will almost certainly be cancelled, and Austin is still in doubt, so chances are we'll have a 19 race calendar just like this year.

    The very first 2012 calendar also had 21 races on it, which caused Todt to say that there would be 20 races at an absolute maximum, despite what the promoter says. The one released today (as the last one) has 20, but it could still fall down to 17.

    Austin paid the sanctioning fee, so lets see how quickly they can build a track. half of the plan appeared to utilizs temporary grandstands anyway. I want to know how folks are going to get in and out of the place.

    Hope Bahrian is cancelled, apart from the political issues I would prefer to see the season opened somewhere with a bit more character (Oz)

    The correct number of scheduled races is 20.

    Will Bahrain, Korea and Austin actually happen? We'll see.

    Australia will be gone in a few years.
    Henners, I am curious. Imagine in the future there were thirty F1 circuits around the world that you absolutely loved.
    Racing at all of these tracks is spectacular. Would you still advocate a twenty or less race calendar?
