Axe to fall on Australian Grand Prix?
Sport's supremo delivers withering verdict on fate of traditional season curtain-raiser. Melbourne looks set to lose the position it has held on the grand prix calendar since 1996, after Bernie Ecclestone suggested the sport no longer wanted to visit Australia.
In a significant blow to the race's future, the F1 supremo angrily declared that both he as well as Formula 1's teams and sponsors wanted to quit Melbourne, in favour of more lucrative races elsewhere in the world that would afford better sponsorship opportunities and television audiences. He also slammed Victoria Premier John Brumby for having given 'scant support' to the event.

Mmm, Don't think so. Sounds like Bernie wants to go where there are heaps of cash. I'd guess a site in Russia or India.

Tilke is building a FIA approved track right now around Moscow which will hold a MotoGP race by 2010.
F1 be there soon.
Russia aims to host MotoGP race
A new track in Russia has set it sights on bringing MotoGP to the country in the next two years, autosport.com has learned.
The current track project at Volokolamsk, 80 kilometres west of Moscow,
is being headed by Hans Geist, the former general manager of the
Austrian Grand Prix at the A1 Ring.
With funding for the track coming from both Russian and foreign
investors, Geist has already had the design plans for the venue put
together by Hermann Tilke - with the brief being that it is built to
Formula One standards.
However, Geist has made it clear that the target is not for an F1
race. Instead, he wants to secure the rights to a MotoGP race and also
DTM.
"F1 is not the main target though every detail is agreed with
Bernie (Ecclestone)", said Geist. "If some organizer comes up who wants
to bring F1, we would be happy.
"But we are not desperately going for this. The track will be
state-of-the-art for all kinds of racing. We do expect MotoGP and DTM
to come to us".
The Volokolamsk track will have a capacity for 100,000 spectators and is expected to open in 2010.

If thats the case then their woud be no reason to hold a night race in Melbourne even though other Australian cities said they would gladly hold a night race for f1
