Melbourne (because we were all buzzing with anticipation)
Hockenheim (hey, it was an interesting race)
Spa (hopefully half wet)
Interlagos (not sure how it'll do in the middle of the season)
Singapore (with all of 1st years problems ironed out)

Driver's circuits: Silverstone, Monza, Interlagos, Spa, Suzuka.

I think it's good to have both...

Hmmm... tough one...

Trackwise: Interlagos, Spa, Istanbul, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain (no order)

Race-weekend wise (ie all things considered): Albert Park, Monaco, Spa, Interlagos, Abu Dhabi.

Bahrain is always such a shame- the outfield section of the track in turns 5-10 is absolutely fantastic, turn 10 is such a brilliant corner, watching the drivers struggle to cope with the camber and lack of grip. Quite how it so consistently produces a boring race I don't know, but these new tracks have a habit of doing that.

Albert Park is good, but being the first weekend of the season really makes it- the uncertainty around the cars and drivers adds an edge to the action. Decent, if not legendary, track.

Interlagos and Spa never seem to dissapoint. Hilly, bumpy, rainy, passionate fans- all a racetrack really needs.

Abu Dhabi looks nice, it should be absolutely fantastic. Let's just hope it ends up more like Monaco than Valencia.

And Monaco- of course. Wonderfully exciting, every single lap has an air of anticipation that newer circuits seem to lack.

Istanbul only gets my vote as a track for one reason- turn 8 is fantastic, but nothing ever seems to happen there. I can't remember any of the winners of the last few years, I can't remember any great overtaking or racing.
