The Formula One 2010 Calendar has now been revealed with nineteen rounds scheduled for the coming season beginning with Bahrain.
Australia has now been chosen as the second round, allowing the race to begin at 5pm to fit in with the television broadcasters who favour racing in ‘twilight’ rather than the dark. However, the Singapore round will still be under full floodlights when it takes place in late September.
Although as yet no contract has been signed, the Canadian Grand Prix has been pencilled in for the 13 June, if the contract fails again this year the Turkey Grand Prix will be held later to compensate.
South Korea is a new circuit on the calendar, set to take place in mid-October with the final round being held in Brazil as usual but it will be held in November.
Here is the calendar;
Australia March 28 Malaysia April 4 China April 18 Spain May 9 Monaco May 23 Turkey May 30 Canada* June 13 Europe (Valencia) June 27 Great Britain July 11 Germany July 25 Hungary August 1 Belgium August 29 Italy September 12 Singapore September 26 Japan October 3 Korea October 17 Abu Dhabi October 31 Brazil November 14
*Subject to the completion of contract negotiations with Formula One Management. If these are not completed then the Turkish Grand Prix will be moved to 6 June.
Note: The race in Australia will start at 1700 local time, in Malaysia at 1600 local time, in Singapore at 2000 local time, and in Abu Dhabi at 1700 local time.
