Dates And Possible Venues For 2006

[jjoseph 0]

A list of twenty dates for next year's F1 calendar was published last weekend, but Bernie Ecclestone has stated this does not mean there will be twenty races.

The reason for the extra dates - Bernie says there might be 17, 18 or 19 races, is that there are some potential date clashes to be sorted out with major events such as the Football World Cup and the Commonwealth Games, the latter due to take place in Melbourne, around the traditional date for the opening Australian Grand Prix.

The dates and possible venues are as follows:

March 12, Bahrain

March 19, Malaysia

April 2, Australia

April 16, San Marino

April 30, Spain or France

May 14, Spain or France

May 28, Monaco

June 4, Nurburgring

June 18, Canada

June 25 Indianapolis

July 2, unknown

July 16, Britain

July 30, Germany

August 6, Hungary

August 27, Turkey

September 10, Belgium

September 17, Italy

October 1, Brazil
