Bahrain GP returns to old berth
Fernando Alonso emerges from the pits just in time to hold off Michael Schumacher for victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix
Renault's Fernando Alonso won in Bahrain this year
Bahrain will revert to third place on the Formula One calendar in 2007 after hosting this year's season opener.

Bahrain organisers said in a statement that F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has given them a provisional date of 15 April, one week after the Malaysia GP.

The Australian GP in Melbourne, third on the 2006 calendar to avoid a clash with the Commonwealth Games, returns to its season-opening spot on 18 March.

Ecclestone has yet to release a draft calendar for the 2007 F1 season.

The schedule is expected to remain at 18 races with Belgium returning and Germany losing one of its two GPs.
