I've always liked Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Everyone always loves to talk about how dangerous Mexico is but really Interlagos is no safer. I'm glad to see Bernie thinking outside the Tilke these last few months... adding Austria and now this. I'm going to take a crack at what the schedule may look like next year, given the tidbits of information we've collected over the silly season: 1. Melbourne 2. Sepang 3. Shanghai 4. Bahrain 5. Valencia 6. Monaco 7. Montreal 8. Silverstone 9. Red Bull Ring 10. Hockenheim 11. Hungary 12. Spa 13. Monza 14. Sochi 15. Singapore 16. Suzuka 17. Yas Marina 18. COTA 19. Mexico City 20. Interlagos That sounds like a fantastic year. Notice I left out Yeongam, Buddh, and New Jersey. Last edited by Beetle; 25 Aug 2013 at 22:36. |

Looking at that list 4 of the last five circuits (Suzuka, COTA, Mexico & Interlagos) are pretty good ones as well so it has potential for good finish to the year.

The Spanish Grand Prix will be at Barcelona, not Valencia-
Had we ever so much changes from one year to the next as it is expect for 2014? |

It is pleasing that we're getting two historic race tracks back for next year. I only wish Bernie cared about that rather than the money he's getting from them both.
I think we're correctly assuming New Jersey won't happen and that Korea and India will be dropped for next year, but what happens when India supposedly comes back in 2015? We'll have 21 races then. I don't really see that there are any other races that are on seriously shaky ground in the next few years. |

And there are lots of changes going on, yes. Quote:
In all seriousness, I think it'll probably be 22... the French GP seems to be the next "classic" in line for a makeover. Not 100%... this was an excerpt from the article in Autoweek. Quote:

Bernie says the NJ GP will go ahead, in 2015. I'm taking that with a big pinch of salt.

Shame about New Jersey. I was looking forward to that.

Long Beach may be back in play. Robin Miller writing for Racer has an article out on “Long Beach City Council ponders bid for F1 return.” The key quote:

I would like to see F1 AND IndyCar on the same weekend in Long Beach.

Also considering neither indycar or F1 will want to play second fiddle to the other.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the long beach track literally come apart last year during the indycar race? I remember the tarmac filling coming up and causing cars to crash but can't remember which race exactly. |

If they were to run both series at Long Beach, broadcasting is one thing that will need to be sorted out, particularly for viewers outside the US. NBCSN are one of the IndyCar series broadcasters and they carry Long Beach. As a motorsports broadcaster they leave a lot to be desired, why the IRL entered into this deal with them does beggar belief. Ok, the IRL get a fee from NBCSN but the deal is becoming unsutainable, with viewing figures dwindling and sponsors leaving the series.

At an F1 event FOM have total control over track coverage and world feed from the first Green Light on a Friday morning of which ever categories first practice through to the end of the interviews after Grand Prix Podium., and also issue the passes to the National broadcasters for their paddock camera crews. They would never relinquish control to another series, you only have to look at Australia where the V8s didn't get coverage unless the local broadcaster bought it from FOM. Even at that it would be coverage directed by the FOM tv director not regular one from that series. |
