Spa - All thanks to new Bernie Ecclestone! EXPRESS.DE learned in the new exclusive Spa Formula 1 2010 calendar. There are another 18 races instead of 17 because of the popular Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal is celebrating its comeback, 6 June.
It has been speculated, but now it is fixed: the season opener is moved in Bahrain, the Desert Grand Prix replaces the traditional start town of Melbourne.
The Grand Prix of Turkey was placed far forward, held in Istanbul on 15 April, the Euro-start instead. A special feature: Both the British Grand Prix (11th July) and the 25th of Germany (July) are involved, but also provided with any venue.
The background is that Ecclestone announced the tradition of track in Silverstone and Donington, the new contractor with the construction work is in default. In Germany, even changed two years ago, Hockenheim was back to it.
But the city in Baden wants the six-million deficit per Grand Prix not to step in and take over not the Nurburgring. Ecclestone would seem to offer Hockenheim discount or even as a marketer (as in Istanbul) to act.
