Graham Lewis takes a look at the latest piece of breaking news to emerge in the world of Formula One.

Formula One has gone crazy over the last week. First the news of a possible break away series and then Max Mosley referring to team executives as loonies, the latest piece of gossip to do the rounds is the supposed leak of the schedule for the break away series races in 2010.

Though this is still to be confirmed by the Formula One Team's Association, the good news is that there are some classic tracks that could be returning if the rumor is true. Perhaps the most exciting of these is the return of the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. Indianapolis, USA also makes a welcome return.

The full list is below:

March 3 - Buenos Aires, Argentina

March21 - Mexico City, Mexico

April 11 - Jerez, Spain

April 25 - Portimao, Portugal

May 2 - Imola, San Marino

May23 - Monte Carlo, Monaco

June 6 - Montreal, Canada

June 13 - Indianapolis, United States

July 1 - Silverstone, United Kingdom

July 25 - Magny-Cours, France

August 15 - Laustizring, Germany

August 29 - Helsinki, Finland

September 12 - Monza, Italy

September 26 - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

October 10 - Marina Bay, Singapore

October 24 - Suzuka, Japan

November 8 - Adelaide or Surfers' Paradise, Australia

There are mixed feelings among fans on the break away series, but many feel that it is time the sport moved on and budget restrictions are really not in keeping with the tradition of pushing motor sport's boundaries.

The current Formula One season is still in full swing though and Red Bull have made their mark at the classic Silverstone circuit. They'd be doing well to catch Brawn GP, but it should make for some interesting F1 betting over the next few races.
