2006 Calander - Confirmed
I have just seen on BBC Sport Online that the 2006 F1 Calander will look like this:-
Mar 12: Bahrain Grand Prix (Bahrain) Mar 19: Malaysian Grand Prix (Sepang) Apr 2: Australian Grand Prix (Melbourne) Apr 23: San Marino Grand Prix (Imola) May 7: European Grand Prix (Nurburgring, Germany) May 14: Spanish Grand Prix (Barcelona) May 28: Monaco Grand Prix (Monte Carlo) Jun 11: British Grand Prix (Silverstone) Jun 25: Canadian Grand Prix (Montreal) Jul 2: United States Grand Prix (Indianapolis) Jul 16: French Grand Prix (Mangy-Cours) Jul 30: German Grand Prix (Hockenheim) Aug 6: Hungarian Grand Prix (Hungaroring) Aug 27: Turkish Grand Prix (Istanbul) Sep 10: Italian Grand Prix (Monza) Sep 17: Belgian Grand Prix (Spa-Francorchamps) Oct 1: Japanese Grand Prix (Suzuka) Oct 8: Chinese Grand Prix (Shanghai) Oct 22: Brazilian Grand Prix (Interlagos) The full story can be found at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/4378794.stm The first thing that jumps out me is that British GP in June and there is a chance that it might clash with Le Mans (i'll be in France). Anywhere there is it folks discuss..... |

Good calendar.
I like ending in Brazil - finishing the season with a race in prime time. |

Are the BBC making a comment on the state of the French track or have they forgotten how to spell?

Incidentally - this calendar won't change - that's the final rubber-stamped version from the world council.

But i did think that the team owners were fed up with too many races and wanted the season spread out a bit- this calender looks almost same as this year, which wasn't bad in itself.. |

I bet!
McLaren better be hoping JPM has a fast but consistent year then, too many shunts might make things just a little awkward for them!! Ditto, Karthikeyan and whoever he ends up driving for! |

Humm... the Canadian GP on the St-Jean Baptiste holliday week end... It's better than the July date they were talking about but I still don't understand why they moved the U.K. GP to the Canadian GP's traditional slot (i.e. first or second week of June). Insofar as the Canadian GP is concerned, if it ain't broken why fix it? Is it that success at Silverstone is more important than success at the Montreal GP?
P.S. Has the FIA given any reason in support of those changes? I had to work away from Montreal the last few days such that I am a bit behind with the news. |

Because Tony George announced the US GP would be on July 2, before getting an official date from the FIA.
Given the events of this year, it was felt best to keep him happy and work round it. |

its odd that the British and French GP's are split but the Canadian and US GP's. I thought it would have made sense for the British and French GP be together so the teams only have to hop over the channel.

Well, they have to cross the ocean anyway, so what's the difference if they make it in between ?
