After meeting in Paris the FIA has released a new provisional Formula 1 schedule for 2010.  Of special note is the move of Monaco from May 23rd to May 16th and that the Abu Dabi and Brazilian GPs will most likely switch dates if it’s cool with the promoters of those events.

Although not finalized yet the coolest thing on the schedule is Canada on June 13th.  It has a big fat asterisk next to it right now because contracts are still in negotiations on this one.  Lets all keep our fingers crossed that F1 makes its return to North America in 2010. 

I’ll admit I have a love / hate relationship with Formula 1, but that is mostly with its leadership and the general superiority complex that surrounds the sport.  (Seriously you can have an alleged Nazi Themed Orgy and just be asked to sit out a race?  Seriously?)

Anyway, provisional schedule is below.  Stay tuned for future updates!
