Hey everyone!
I know the 2017 provisional calendar won’t be released till the weekend of the Belgian, Italian, or Singapore Grand Prix this year, so I’d like to know what your versions of the 2017 calendar would look like. I have 2 versions –
This version has some dates reshuffled:
1. Australia, 19 March
2. Malaysia, 26 March
3. Bahrain, 9 April
4. China, 16 April
5. Russia, 30 April
6. Spain, 14 May
7. Monaco. 28 May
8. Canada, 11 June
9. Austria, 25 June
10. Britain, 9 July
11. Germany, 23 July
12. Hungary, 30 July
13. Belgium, 27 August
14. Italy, 10 September
15. Singapore, 24 September
16. Japan, 8 October
17. Azerbaijan, 15 October
18. United States, 29 October
19. Mexico, 5 November
20. Brazil, 19 November
21. Abu Dhabi, 26 NovemberThe above version has Malaysia shifted back to the beginning of the season as it has always been from 2001-2015. Azerbaijan is at the second half of the season, twinned after Japan, and Abu Dhabi forms a doubleheader after Brazil.
Version 2 (same as 2016 calendar):
1. Australia, 26 March
2. Bahrain, 9 April
3. China, 23 April
4. Russia, 7 May
5. Spain, 21 May
6. Monaco, 4 June
7. Canada, 18 June
8. Azerbaijan, 25 June
9. Austria, 9 July
10. Britain, 16 July
11. Hungary, 30 July
12. Germany, 6 August
13. Belgium, 3 September
14. Italy, 10 September
15. Singapore, 24 September
16. Malaysia, 8 October
17. Japan, 15 October
18. United States, 29 October

SingaporeNot necessarily in that order but pair races up in back to back weekends, means the schedule isn’t too long and there’s less flying backwards and forwards, but at the same time we get to go back to cool places like Istanbul, Portugal and Korea
21st August 2016, 0:54 at 12:54 am #326754foleygerParticipantA 28 round championship? There is 21 rounds at the moment and that is way too much. Germany won’t be on next year so that is 20. Italy could be dropped so that makes 19. I personally think Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Spain, Russia and Abu Dhabi should be dropped but that won’t happen. I would like to see a European Grand Prix which is rotated every year. Estoril, Imola, Magny Cours, Brands Hatch, Zandvoort would be among the options for me. Next years championship should start in Australia and finish in Brazil. Abu Dhabi is an awful way to finish a championship.

16. United States Grand Prix (Circuit of the Americas) – 5th NovemberI think for the World Championship the perfect amount of races is 16. It should have a fairly wide spread across the world but at the same time retain its European heartland, and travelling should be kept to a minimum.

16. United States Grand Prix (Circuit of the Americas) – 5th NovemberThe changes are:
* Malaysia is 1 week later to increase the gap between Australia and Malaysia to 2 weeks.

* Russia is 1 week later to avoid a triple header with China and Japan.
* Belgium is 1 week earlier to avoid a clash with the Le Mans 24 hour race.

1. South African Grand Prix (Kyalami Racing Circuit) – 5th March
2. Malaysian Grand Prix (Sepang International Circuit) – 19th March
3. Australian Grand Prix (Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit) – 26th March4. Argentine Grand Prix (Potrero de los Funes Circuit) – 9th April

15. Chinese Grand Prix (Shanghai International Circuit) – 1st October
16. Japanese Grand Prix (Suzuka International Race Course) – 8th October17. Mexican Grand Prix (Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez) – 29th October
18. United States Grand Prix (Circuit of the Americas) – 5th NovemberI added Argentina and France to my earlier version to take the schedule up to 18 races (the absolute maximum IMO) and moved some Grand Prix around to give the calendar a bit of a refresh, I think beginning the season in South Africa rather than in Australia may be better because of the time zones, maybe boosting viewing figures. I also put in spaces between the races to represent the weeks where there is no F1.
