In the F1 calendar there is a TBA - anyone any clues where this is?

When are they going back to Turkey?

Where are you looking? There was talk of Turkey and others standing in for the postponed New Jersey race, but the calendar has now been confirmed at only 19 races.

Mercedes are looking good considering how much they've talked down their car this year, still think Kimi would be a good outside bet at 14:1 for the WDC... Definitely be interesting to see what happens come first race

They've now ratified the change from 20 to 19 Grand Prix, although its been known for ages that non of the possible locations could put up the cash for a race.

What interests me is that the Beeb had that race (originally NY) as a live race, will they now get another race or are the non sky viewers only going to get 9 live races this year? The story on the Beeb site would indicate the latter or that they have not negotiated a change.

Can't imagine Bernie giving a refund.

Looks like Lewis may have made the right move

Vettel in particular has a tendancy to not really turn it on until Q2 or even Q3.

Mercedes do look good. In fact, Mercedes and McLaren seem to have swapped places.

I think McLaren have a good car but it just needs tweaking.

Just been watching the 94 race. I got quite excited, even though I knew the result. Bloody cheating Germans.
