Who predicted that schedule? The teams would never, ever agree to a 21-race schedule. Last season was the longest ever and the teams only (reluctantly) agreed to a 19th race when a lot of extra money was produced.
You can strike a Mexican Grand Prix off your list, as well as a Pacific Grand Prix and possibly one of the two races in either Germany or Italy.

Bernie Ecclestone said the season will only go up to 20 races. The US Grand Prix is a race that you can cross out of the schedule, because BE said that it wouldn't be a loss for F1 if Indianapolis were out of F1 and the scandal in 2005 were wiped out of everyone's minds. Spa is out of this year's calendar due to upgrades that can't be finished in time for this year, but it will return next year. The Pacific GP will PROBABLY be at Suzuka if the FIA decide to bring it on. And there is some talk for a 20th race; options include Mexico, Russia and even a second race in Spain.

oh my...why so many races for one season
well, if alonso will indeed transfer to williams/bmw and shumacher is STILL driving for ferrari, either the championship will be up for grabs for both driver and constructor points or somebody will inherit the "dominance factor" and make F1 boring & pridictable...as it has been last past 6 years
if it becomes exciting again like the days of andretti, stewart and mansing then the long schedule might be justified

I suggest some league races to be done to decide the qualifying team rather cutting down the venues

Does it matter? Did Shumacher retire yet? If not, he will win regardless of it the season has 1 race or 1000.
