All the tracks the core F1 fans like will stay. And by core fans, I mean the ultra rich that go to races to show their wealth. This means that America will get more races, that Monaco will stay and that the Middle East will be booming. Because that's where the people with money are, or rather, the people F1 sees as their core fans. It's evident when you watch the races. There are needless camera zooms on random celebs, celebs get invited to the paddock for no reason, and the F1 parties are all but inaccesible to the public.

Monaco has the rare distinction for an F1 circuit that you can see roughly half the circuit from one spot (up the hill on the south side of the harbour), although that has reduced slightly since the new yacht club was built obscuring the tunnel exit.

[@joshuafrancis1959]

Monaco, 75% want it to stay?? Every time I see the argument online it looks like it’s going against having it. Don’t get me wrong, the event itself is spectacular and the hype around it is awesome, but the race itself is bloody snooze fest 😅😅

[@luuduonghy659]

Because the Saturday would decide the win. The last time it does not decide the win was on 2017 where Seb despite start second but good undercut allow him to win

I love the Jeddah circuit. It displays the speed of the cars well. The first drs zone does create problems and is pretty much useless. The racing it gives doesn't suck though.

[@playgaming2998]

[@HossamHassan-pw3bj]

2 parts to this comment: 1. There sbould be a list of what circuits F1 fans want back on the calendar *cough* Malaysia 2. I like the variety of the calendar. We have a wide range of versions of cjrcuits, from 3 km Monaco to 7 km Spa. A 23 race calendar must have a variety as wide as that. So Monaco and Spa stay forever. On a side note: I live in Abu Dhabi. I've always been a fan since way before they first raced here. However I would love if it stayed for a very long time because in the 13 years f1 raced here F1 has gained a lot of fans who had no idea what F1 is before racing started here back in 2009. It was a slow process but now practically the whole country wants to go to a race. I definitely agree it shouldn't be the last race of the season. That belongs to either Brazil or Suzuka. Thank you for reading my opinion which will probably not matter to anyone 🙃

[@Nootje2000]

Jeddah is incredible, it’s just controversial.. such a shame

[@khaled1240]

Jeddah is staying in the calendar don’t worry.

[@MartinvanStormOfficial]

Totally agree. I think Jeddah and Baku show exactly how amazing street tracks can be. Unlike Monaco which is just too tight for modern F1 cars.

[@noiserrr]

if by controversial you mean potentially deadly then yes. but i suspect you mean another type of controversial.

[@muhmonsta]

@@noiserrr as long its potentially deadly. Not like Imola and Spa which are indeed deadly. And no one give a damn how dangerous these tracks are.

Monaco - Toss it.. the cars have outgrown the track Suzuka - replace it with Fuji, it's the best track Japan has to offer

[@angelrobles7201]

Maybe not in the same order from 3rd to 6th, but I completely agree with the 6 favorite tracks. So much, I believe that the F1 rulebook should contain a ruling over failing to extend their contracts: Unless there's a good reason (like COVID), whoever is responsible for letting those tracks drop from the calendar must be fired, maybe even adding a "tar and feather" clause.

My must haves are (in no specific order) Suzuka, Interlagos, GV circuit, Spa, Hockenheim, Singapore, Monza and Monte Carlo. I also really like Austin.

[@curiousuranus810]

Monaco is the worst track 6 times over - everyone seems to forget that the point of F1 racing is to race and you can't at Monaco.

[@thekfcboss64]

Totally agree with this, yes there is the glamour and the tradition that surrounds it but in all honesty it’s an absolutely dreadful race circuit that never fails to produce terrible races. The other traditional tracks in the “keep” category are all fast circuits that more years than not deliver great racing.

Monoco was the main reason I didn't get into F1 earlier. I find it insanely boring and unless the driver on pole chokes the race is decided before it starts. Every other track is more entertaining

[@NoxTM]

Monaco just frees up a Sunday. You can watch the first 3 laps, go do something else and come back for the last 3 laps with no major changes in the order of cars having occurred. (Unless someone DNFs or fucks up a Pit Stop). The most exciting day of Monaco GP weekend is Saturday.. because of Qualifying. The race itself is just boring af.

When I saw this video, I started getting anxious about Interlagos. Even though it is well loved, sometimes feels like some people are quite vocal about not liking it. That said, sure I thought the track wouldn't show up in the hated tracks section, but I also had low expectations. I am glad people love it so much, even if things are looking a bit bleak (seeing the debate about removing a track from the calendar because of Las Vegas' addition and talks about Interlagos being a candidate for that sank my heart).

As a native of south Florida who lives fairly near the Hard Rock Stadium, it's depressing yet fair that Miami gets hated... hopefully next year it takes better advantage of its second chance (starting with improving with that Turn 14-16 chicane). Hopefully it's only replacing Russia and not well-worthy tracks such as Spa-Francorchamps!

[@CM303898]

I would get rid of Monaco right this second; no questions. I wouldn't even vote on it. It's a horrific circuit for modern racing. If we're going to keep things because they're historic, maybe we should bring back the plague, or other terrible things. "Was good", is not "still good". "Thrilling qualifying", is not "great for the championship battle". The sport should not make exceptions for Monaco; it should just get rid of it.
