Formula 1 2012 Calendar

Next seasons calendar has been released and the first thing to note is next season will be a 20 race season running from March to November.
Turkey has lost its place in the calendar and there is a few back to back races next year so that could work better with drivers aiming for a minimum points haul over a fortnight.
We start with Australia and Malaysia back to back and that will be interesting seeing how teams cope with transporting and drivers with air mileage and that is before you turn up to a Malaysian grand prix which is never predictable either racing or weather.
April see's China and India remaining and then a break before Spain and Monaco in May.
A break either side of the Canadian grand prix before back to back European (Valencia) and British grand prix. Back to back German and Hungarian grand prix are followed by back to back Belgium and Italian races.
We have another break either side of the Singapore grand prix and then back to back Japanese and Korean races. Abu Dhabi and Bahrain (hopefully) are back to back late October/early November before the final back to back races from America and Brazil.
