Former host nations are shown in pink. A six-race calendar was maintained from the 2005 season, with just one change: the incident-packed race from the previous year in Singapore was replaced by the return of China to the schedule after a year's absence. The venue chosen was Chongzhou where F1 would visit for the first time.CAPPELLINI AND GILLMAN LOOK FOR REPEAT WINS IN CHINA! http://www.f1h2o.com/post/cappellini-and-gillman-look-for-repeat-wins-in-china F1H2O 9 September 2006 16 February 2016 The 2006 season marked a watershed for Italy's presence in the sport. Whilst Italian teams and drivers have gone on to participate in the series for years to follow, 2006 is the last time an Italian round has featured on the calendar to date. It was therefore somewhat fitting that on the 25th anniversary of the first championship season the venue was Lake Como where the first F1 race, and the first Grand Prix of Italy, had been held in 1981.GP OF ITALY MARKS 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF F1 RACING! http://www.f1h2o.com/post/gp-of-italy-marks-25th-anniversary-of-f1-racing F1H2O 13 July 2006 16 February 2016 Round Race title Date Circuit location Race winner Hull/Engine 1 QAT 2nd Grand Prix of Qatar 15 April Doha ITA Ivan Brigada DAC/Mercury 2 POR 8th Grand Prix of Portugal 20 May Portimão8TH G.P.
