They should go back to Adelaide and switch it to the end of the year with Interlagos at the start

Sorry, but I am bothered. Albert Park is a decent circuit and has a great atmosphere. Starting the season off with a bang is a must. Going to a bland and sterile place like Bahrain for the season opener is a dreadful prospect. If the Australian Grand Prix is to lose its place as the initial Grand Prix of the season, can it not go to somewhere interesting!

Dont forget that if Abu Dhabi is lame this year, we could possibly have the worst opener and finale next year!

I agree with bringing back Adelaide (my home)!

I wish they would confirm dates soon because they are already selling tickets to Melbourne (with the dates 25-28 March subject to FIA approval), and I can't make it on those dates
( See what I mean http://grandprix.com.au/default.aspx?s= ... grandstand)

Maybe not bad to have a lame track first - our anticipation after the long winter break will be so high that we won't mind too much (see Valencia this year).

Exactly.

Ehh...I've watched some of the old races at Adelaide and I'm not to fond of the circuit.

I'll say my goodbyes now, since that's likely to enrage everyone...

I like getting up at 3am to watch the first gp of the season!

Yeah definatly.

NOOOOOO!!! Not boring-Bahrain!!

To complete the nightmare, all Bernie needs to do is have that, China AND Catalunya-wn as the first three races of the year. Oh what a thrilling start to the 2010 season that would be...

It would be amazing

Bahrain
Abu Dhabi
China
Malaysia
Spain
------------------------------------------------
(real season begins)
Monaco
Canada
Great Britain
Germany
Hungary
Belgium
Italy
------------------------------------------------
(effectively a summer break)
Valencia
Singapore
------------------------------------------------
(Season recommences)
Melbourne
Japan
Brazil

That looks quite good.

Adelaide had a great party atmosphere and you always got a good race around there. Although Melbourne is a great circuit I don't think it's as good as Adelaide.

However they wouldn't pay for the GP anyways.

Actually looks pretty nice.


However, I'd like to see a North American month of three races.

It wont feel right. I used to love being so duck for the day at school because I was watching friday practice 1 and 2 at like 2am insted of sleeping for the first round in Australia

An easy way to make Formula One more environmentally friendly would be to have Grands Prix which are geographically close together one after another. Why start off in the Middle East, fly out to Australasia and Far Asia, only to have to fly back again to what's basically in the Middle East!

What used to frustrate me was how they would go from Australia to Malaysia, then over to Brazil, then over to Europe, then Canada, then Europe again, then the US, then Japan!
