The FIA confirmed the 2007 Formula One calendar. The San Marino and European Grands Prix have been dropped, while Belgium returns, making for a 17-race schedule.
The San Marino and European races were this year staged in Italy (Imola) and Germany (Nurgurgring) respectively - both countries that also have their own Grand Prix. The German round is now expected to alternate between Hockenheim and the Nurburgring, while the four-week gap in the calendar between Bahrain and Spain will doubtless lead to speculation that San Marino could yet be reinstated. The Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne returns to its traditional role of season opener after moving to round three this year to avoid a clash with the Commonwealth Games. Meanwhile, the Japanese round will move from Suzuka to Fuji, the circuit which staged the countrys first Grand Prix back in 1976. There are five sets of back-to-back races on the 2007 calendar: Malaysia and Bahrain in April; Canada and the US in June; France and Britain in July; Italy and Belgium in September; and China and Japan in September/October.
