November finale in 2006?

The last grand prix of 2006 might be held in November, according to whispers in the Paddock.

A Red Bull Racing news release said that Bernie Ecclestone's response to widespread complaints about the whopping 19-race schedule this year – and a record six back-to-backs – could be to extend the finale from October.

The behind-the-scenes Red Bull document also cast doubt on the future of Imola, scene of the traditional San Marino grand prix in the north of Italy.
