F1 Entry List and Calender

With the announcement of Force India’s lineup, we now have the full entry list for 2008. We have Force India, who took over Spyker. Timo Glock, who was champion of GP2 last Year is at Toyota. Alonso returns to Renault, with new boy Piquet trying to challenge him. Mclaren are of course bottom of the list, as they were kicked out of the constructors championship last, after the spying scandal. We also have the full calendar, which at a glance is very exciting. Despite the US GP being off the list this year, we have the new Valencia urban circuit, which is similar to Melbourne, because it has road markings, but it isn’t in the city center. We also have the first ever night race at Singapore which is a street circuit, I will not be missing that! Here’s the full lists.
