2012 F1 Calendar

The 2012 Formula 1 Calendar has been announced by the sports governing body, the FIA. There are going to be 20 races in all, and as expected Turkey as been dropped from the calendar. This is a shame as it always provides a good race. This year, notably, the DRS activation zone was acredited with a large number of 'easy' overtakes and attendance of the grand prix has generally been poor, the BBC reports.
