I will certainly go to Canada again but I will wait before going to Austin. Travel there so close to thanksgiving will be tough. That September, October, November calendar look condensed. :yikes:

I like how Australia is the opening round, good place to kick start a F1 season. (maybe i'm a little bias) But Bahrain will probably get it back in 2013, its just not the same there.

agreed.

get rid of India, Korea, all the middle Eastern races for a start. USA is ok as USA should have a GP since traditionally they have had one. However it should be like it was traditionally. Before or after Canada and mid season. Traditional is all that matters. So speaking of that bring back Imola, France and the A1 ring as well.

Tradition matters for absolutely nothing apart from nice stories for the cold and dark winter evenings. It's the quality of the track that matters.

Tradition dictates that Monaco is kept on the calender but it very rarely produces anything more than a mind numbing procession.

oh come on..

How can anyone say to get rid of Korea? That circuit had a poor start, but the track lay out looks amazing to me. And how can you be so harsh on these middle eastern countries?
