The GP was only called 'San Marino' because there was already an Italian GP! Well, Imola is still in Italy. The GP was only called ‘San Marino’ because there was already an Italian GP!

The calendar is provisional and it does allow for Suzuka to be added back in the guise of an Asian or Pacific Grand Prix if they can agree on it. But does that not mean that Japan will have two races, just like how Germany and Italy effectively have had for recent years? And yes, I agree, Spa is welcome return to Formula One. Long may Eau Rouge and Blancimont be challenged by F1 drivers... I know San Marino isn't actually Italy, but in all honesty, it might as well be for Formula One speak. Apologies to any San Marino residents reading this! ;) Thanks doctorvee, a good article on GrandPrix.com.

There is no reason for Italy and Germany to have two races when there are so many circuits in the world vying for a slot on the calendar. Have you seen the <a href="http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns17370.html" rel="nofollow">article on GrandPrix.com</a> suggesting that the calendar released today might be incomplete as it leaves room for Suzuka to slot in early on in the season? I agree that leaving Suzuka out of the calendar would be a travesty, even though this is inconsistent with my views about San Marino / Europe. And it is great to see Spa back on the calendar!
