But its "Europe" :lol:

I wonder if the Malaysian race for the bikes is gonna be moved, it would be pretty crazy to have the F1 and bikes a few weeks apart.

In Catalunya the F1 GP was the 10th May this year and MotoGP took place the 14th June. That's the smallest gap for 2015 I believe.

No ones noticed the season is starting 3 weeks later than normal?

I remember reading that somewhere a few months ago, so it doesn't come as a surprise :tumble:

In other news: maximum penalties for engine changes are now dropping to the back of the grid.
I remember posting something about the retarded penalty system a few months ago, being sure it would never last.

Well done F1. So much talk about reducing costs yet they add another race and condense the calendar even further. The management of this series has me baffled beyond belief.

why not moving the races after russia 1 week forward and put Baku after russia to help with logistics?

btw first time since 1994 a race will be held in may 1st

Will F1 finally take off in the USA?? If so, hopefully it can attract some new and returning manufacters. Ford back would be nice and Maybe Chevy or Fiat can ask Ferrari to rebadge the Manor engine to Chrysler.

21-race calendar rocks, one more to watch! And who gives a nickel about logistics, as long as all the cars are already shipped to the grid when I tune in, I'm fine thanks.

if FCA wants to show F1 in USA they must rebadge the engines in the best way possible

Is MOPAR or no car

The television ratings are up here in the USA. NBC has marketed the series alot better then what FOX/SPEED did.

However I don't see Ford or GM going into F1 anytime soon

That's given me a great idea for a race series.

F1 race starts at 9am on a Sunday when they're given the shipping container to their car with everything in 200 pieces. They have to assemble the cars then do the 80 laps after that.

Rumours out of Italy are suggesting Ferrari have reached an agreement with Williams to replace Raikkonen with Bottas for 2016 with Nasr replacing Bottas at Williams.
