Bernie wants 21 races
London and Vienna on wishlist

(GMM) Bernie Ecclestone will not be satisfied until there are more than twenty grands prix on the F1 calendar.

The 74-year-old supremo said 2005's unprecedented scheduled of 19 events 'is a pretty good start.

''But we're not finished yet.

''We've got Istanbul now,'' he added, ''and we're working really hard on Russia. I think we can manage twenty or twenty one (races), can't we?''

Race number 21, he revealed, could be a city grand prix, perhaps in London. ''Or Vienna,'' he chimed.

Ecclestone continued: ''Imagine it -- a big city, a grand prix car winding between historic buildings. I think people would like that. I would.''
