If the Schumacher/Rosberg pairing turns out to be a winning team I think we may have both of the German tracks back in 2011 or 2012.

And if Hamilton and Button are a winning pairing do you think the UK will get two races?

No, the UK doesn't even have 2 FIA approved Grade 1 tracks

Well all that isn't going to be finished in tiome for a 2011 race.

Easily, it's still nearly one and a half years to go.

If we still had some decent French drivers and Renault hadn't sucked for the last 3 years Magny Cours would had some money for the upgrades and it would still be on the calendar.

Scrapping Magny Cours had nothing to do with Renault or French driver success but all with money and Bernie wanting a GP near/in Paris.

If the Schumacher/Rosberg pairing turns out to be a winning team I think we may have both of the German tracks back in 2011 or 2012.

Agree and frankly I hope we do, both are decent tracks they are well within driving distance for me and Germany has a huge input in F1 nowadays so why not two tracks.

What state is the Kyalami Circuit in at the moment?

I'd love to see another race there.

^ Kyalami is active in the 1992-93 layout (which destroyed the earlier layout), but I'm not sure it has certification from the FIA for hosting F1 races. It did host winter testing sessions in the late 1990s and probably even as late as 2002-2003(I think).

The earlier layout was destroyed by housing developments and Johannesburg urban sprawl. The new one's not a bad circuit at all, especially the 'Mineshaft' section. Check out the Superbike races they held there in the late '90s.

Good Balance of Circuits and Countries I think, what do you think?

[Atreiu]

Two races at the UK wouldn`t be bad. Silverstone and Brands Hatch. The problem is how to find the money to upgrade Brands, and also to not take all of its character away. And then there are those noise complaining neighbors.

Would be great to have 2 races in the UK. Bring back a street circuit..... Silverstone and Birmingham? I know its wishfull thinking but 1 can hope! I cant see them closing off Birmingham for 3 days anymore.

How about London instead of Birmingham. Or a race around the M25.
