Which circuits are next for the chop?
With new races confirmed (or at least highly likely) in Valencia and Singapore, plus India and other countries hoping for a place on the F1 calendar, something's got to give.
Bernie's keen on a 20-race calendar, the teams are not so excited about the prospect, but it's likely that one or more of the current venues will soon lose their place in the schedule.
So which one would you drop?
The Hungaroring is the usual target for derision, but recently has produced a few good races. The same could be said of Mangy-Cours.
Mr E. is always looking for an excuse to gave a dig at Silverstone, so could the British GP be in danger?
Or, do you think the teams would ever support the idea of more than 20 races? Would you want that?Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Nürburgring/Hockenheim.
Bahrain
China
I'm not sure if 20 races is the wisest thing though. Sure they test a lot, but at the current rate, most new rounds would take place far form Europe where most F1 people are based, thus they would be quite a lot of time on the road. Then again NASCAR drivers race every weekend and also test between them... I don't know... I'd take 16 races that are exciting over 20+ boring processions................................................... ..................................................

Melbourne. Not because of Bernie, but it'll become a victim of Victorian politics.
And it won't go to Adelaide ... or Queensland... it'll go to somewhere else in SE-Asia.

I'm just hoping they won't lose their minds and chop any really good and historical tracks off the list like Monza, Silverstone, Interlagos, Spa (again) etc.
Forza Ferrari!

for me, there should always be an italian gp, german gp, british gp and french gp.
it just doesnt seem right to not have them, i dont care what track in particular, but i do feel these nations are the heartlands of f1 and should not be brushed aside.
just my opinionnowhere fast.

And we can all be thankful for that. It'd be ruined bringing it up to F1-standard.
