I am worried about that is reported on Autosport.com and that is the Montreal race is listed as "provisional". Why? Are they considering dumping Montreal because there is only one race in North America now? That would be really sad.
Otherwise it seems a nicely balanced schedule.

Would like to see more races in North America. I live on the west coast and European races start @ 5:00 a.m. Maybe a race in Mexico. Glad to see Magny Cours back.

I think it's sad that the USGP has been removed, but I understand why. I went to the USGP and the Canadian Grand Prix this year, and the turn-out seemed much bigger in Canada. And with Scott Speed probably getting booted from STR, America will have very little presence in F1 anymore. But, you've still got Monza, so I'm happy.

One of the Engineering Designers where I work is a F1 flagger. He always attends North American events. Too bad U.S. is not on the '08 list.
I'll have to stick with Speed channel until U.S. is back on the calendar.

I'd prefer it if the Championship concentrated on traditional venues.
Bernie's pursuit of far flung races instead of sticking with a predominately European base does nothing to ease my increasing lack of interest in a once great sport.

I can't figure out why Canada and Brazil aren't closer together! Many, many races are fly-away events next year. Fly here, fly there, no continuity in the schedule. Like lots of darts thrown at the wall and wherever they land is where they are scheduled.

it certainly looks interesting. i wonder why Turkey is so early in the schedule. i really thought San Marino would be there, quite disappointed by that, still it is not carved in stone yet. plenty of time for Bernie to squeeze some more money out of someone.

They're moving from North America since today Asia seems to be more intrested and more... profitable for F1.
I'm really worried about safety. The more street circuit you add... and they asked to remodel Imola since IT is considered dangerous...?!

Isn't a street circuit dangerous ? But isn't the San Marino GP where senna had his crash ? I think its exciting ! can't wait !
