You have already been given a list of races. The most interesting things are where the German Grand Prix will be held.
Oh, and will the Turkish Grand Prix go ahead? There was outrage after this year's race when the winner's trophy was given by the President of Turkish Cyprus - a 'country' that only Turkey recognises. Cyprus has complained, as have several other countries. Because of this, the Turkis Grand Prix may not take place.
Found this excellent description of what happened on Wikipedia:
As part of the podium ceremony after the 2006 race, the winner's trophy was presented by Mehmet Ali Talat, who was introduced to television viewers via the captions as the president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, a state which is only recognised by Turkey. The FIA announced they would be investigating this incident, as a possible breach of the organisation's political neutrality. The identity of the person who would present the winner's trophy was left to the last minute, leaving the FIA no time to veto the choice. Some commentators believe this incident could jeopardise the future of the Turkish Grand Prix, and possibly also Turkey's round of the World Rally Championship, another FIA-sanctioned series
This is what wiki says about next season. From the comments, you can see just how many changes there are likely to be!
A calendar for the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship season was released on 29 August 2006. The circuits were not mentioned on this calendar and there are likely to be changes before the final calendar is released.

14 Belgian Grand Prix Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps 16 September
15 Chinese Grand Prix Shanghai International Circuit 30 September
16 Japanese Grand Prix Fuji International Speedway 7 October
17 Brazilian Grand Prix Autódromo José Carlos Pace 21 October
Note - There is still controversy as to the schedule, as it was announced without circuit locations, (which is customary) without Imola and Suzuka, (which were expected), and including Turkey.
The Italian government, who are aiding in funding the redevelopment of Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, have stated that they still have a contract for the San Marino Grand Prix, and that the race is still tentatively scheduled for April 29. However they state that this is dependant on the ability of the track to complete modifications by March.

Use the link below, will take you directly to the news article about the new calender. Although this is the official calendar there are strong rumours that San Marino will be reinstated and also the Turkish GP depends on the extraordinary meeting on the 19th of this Month when they will decide what (if any) punishment will be handed down to them for the fiasco of the presentation. A possible suspension for the organisers is possible although as a Cypriot throwing them out of the FIA (as suggested) is over the top. A lengthy suspension would be enough.

Spa is back, Suzuka is dropped for the Fuji track in Japan - check the F1 website, calender has just been released. (and farewell to Schumacher, just wish Ralf would go as well!)
