Marginally is about right, flys in the ointment are Miami & Canada, a real shame that they can’t move one (or both), the carbon footprint change would be measurable.

Needs Germany and France. What's their status? Would be good to have Nordic countries back as well. Last Swedish Grand Prix was in '78, the last Danish GP was in '62, and the last Norwegian GP was in '36 (!). Finland has yet to host one. Apparently a street race for Copenhagen was proposed in 2017.

Sadly, with Liberty's greed we will continue on this path of sh*t venues...

Monaco, Miami, Singapore, Las Vegas, Qatar, Mexico, Abu Dabi & Azerbaijan.

Spain would've been added before they changed the last corner back this year...

The risk of profiteer ownership, not everything should be franchised cross culturally globally. As it relates, there are plenty of Champagnes for sale from California. 5 euro a bottle and you'll have a massive headache the next day. Sort of like a trip to Miami.

Marginally is about right, flys in the ointment are Miami & Canada, a real shame that they can’t move one (or both), the carbon footprint change would be measurable.
12 May 2024 in Canada really that bad for racing?

We get good racing at quite a few of those, I'm not sure I would agree.
Miami certainly though.

Early May can get you anything for weather, freezing cold or hot and sunny.

Wouldn’t miss Miami, Qatar, Abu Dhabi at all. That’d be 21 events, more manageable calendar.

Monaco, Singapore, Mexico, Baku either produce decent racing or throw a curve ball sufficient to shake up the order.

If its just those three then I can agree with that.

“I was expecting we were going to be a bit faster,” Tombazis told select media, including Speedcafe, in Abu Dhabi.

“How much, I couldn’t say because obviously we changed a bit the floor regulations.”

Bahrain and Saudi being a day early is extremely frustrating for someone working during that time. Fake illness for 2 Friday qualifyings in a row? :lol:

Hmmmm. I’ve lived 20 min from Canada for over a decade and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a day in May that was hot. Sunny certainly, but never hot. Fwiw
Watching F1 since 1986.
