Race calendar and new teams (long post); The credit crunch and races moving

With all the new teams that sign up to go racing from 2010 I see the short one changing the race calendar a lot in the next year or more

This is so that certain races due to money problems - ie government running out of money and thus politically can not be seen giving money to a short billionaire and that new teams will have a home race

This is how I see it:

I see Germany race going - how much money are they losing each race? - are they near going bust?

I see the race in France will not come back will be replaced with a race in the Americas - to link in to the new USA team

The UK race will just full off and not return because Dontion will never be ready on time and the short one will find a race that will pay a lot more

Not sure about the Belgian Grand Prix? I think the local government and et al are paying out there own money for the race to go ahead - like in Germany I see - politically can not be seen giving money to a short billionaire - the national government in bad shape - an old link but show up what going on in Belgian and that why the race might be lost http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8035290.stm

I see one of the new teams being brought by a middle east company etc and moving location to the middle east - I see the short one linking this because of all the new races in the middle east

Japans race now looks in question esp if the last Japanese team pulls out

Also is there question marks still over the Australia race? - if so there could be a street race (night) in Taiwan, India or (night) Malaysia instead

so this is my list for the coming years: (in no order)

Malaysian Grand Prix
Chinese Grand Prix
Bahrain Grand Prix
Spanish Grand Prix
Monaco Grand Prix
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Brazilian Grand Prix -might not be at current location due to the track is falling down
Singapore Grand Prix (night race)
Italian Grand Prix
European Grand Prix
Turkish Grand Prix

The new ones:

India Grand Prix
Russia Grand Prix
Malaysia Grand Prix (night race) - or some place like that in the region
USA Grand Prix
Canada Grand Prix or if this does not go ahead a possibility of two USA Grand Prix but this is a long shot
Another middle east Grand Prix - may be UAE? - link in with a middle east F1 GP Team that been brought out and moved there

so a list of 17 future races - what do you think?

also I see a one off

London 2012 street race

like everything it all down to the short one and money
