It would be a crime to drop Spa, it's the best track in the world, period. The historic ones like Spa, Monza, Silverstone, Interlagos and a few others have to be permanent every year. From the current calendar, i would drop one of two between Jeddah and Qatar in the Middle East, Miami and Mexico, and Zandvooort in Europe. I would put in Kyalami in South Africa, Malaysia, Nurburgring and Turkey in Europe.

[@Lejitfr]

Qatar and Mexico can stay cause the races there are quite interesting

[@eddern5701]

Zandvort will be already out of calendar in 2027

[@Thunder55Turbo]

Turkey's geopolitical climate is anything but stable right now, with their bickering with the EU and resistance against Ukraine and logistical involvements with Syria and Russia. We probably won't go back to Istanbul Park for quite a long time. Absolutely on Malaysia and the Nurburgring returning, though. I really wish they'd consider Indianapolis' GP layout (without the sweeping final turn, but rather the Indycar layout--which is for some reason a Grade 2, and I can't figure out why) or even consider something like Road America (a Grade 2 primarily due to local amenities and garage infrastructure, not the track itself). A return to Korea would be amazing, or even India. Hell, maybe shove Suzuka aside for Fuji or Twin Ring Motegi (how is the latter a Grade 2?!) for a year or two. I'd definitely get rid of as many Middle East tracks as possible, Bahrain included. The paycheck is the only thing keeping them there and their home countries have less than stellar international reputations. Stay out of China for similar reasons to geopolitics above.

[@SérgioXarepejrnfn]

Bahrain i think is a good track, the best of the Middle East. I would keep Abu Dhabi, but not as the finale, i think Interlagos is the best track to end the season. In the US i like Road America(Elkhart Lake) a lot, i agree with you and even Indianapolis. I would keep Austin which is fantastic and maybe Las Vegas, but i think Miami is lame. I woyld drop Miami. It's shame Istambul is not posible due to political reasons, for me is one of the best tracks in the world. Nurbugring and Malaysia are no brainers for me.

@Fin1878F1actually much of the money for the f1 race comes from their trade deal with qatar. that’s why you see a lot of “visit rwanda” sponsorship in various sports - the qataris are paying for it

[@jonrobinson8005]

There should be a core group of legacy tracks in the calendar so that there is some consistency unless the host nation ops out of the group which would mean their place on the calendar is up for grabs. My thoughts for the group would be Melbourne, Suzuka, Spa, Silverstone, Singapore, Canada, Monza and São Paulo. If there is consistency it would mean better efficiency.

[@Fin1878F1]

agree with all apart from Singapore and Melbourne, as they haven't been here long. People forget how much of a legacy track Montreal is.

F1 is charging these circuits WAAAAY too much, and guess who gets that cost passed down to them? Us, the fans. I was considering going to my first F1 event this year at COTA, until I saw how much the tickets were. Over $500 for garbage seats; actually that wasn’t even for a seat, just general admission. Absolutely ridiculous. I don’t see how anyone affords to go to these races.

[@oscarsands1237]

I think they need to start alternating tracks between years so it doesn't become too stale

Circuits like Spa "built" F1, so it's a shame they have to be financially throttled or virtually blackmailed at every opportunity.

[@miriamreiss]

That's what happened to the German Grand Prix.....

[@sydclark5581]

@miriamreiss Ehhhh not really. Berni and a consultant for the broadcaster/race both got hefty jail term for trying to do a 30 million hush hush deal. In Germany if you're rich, you can serve a prison sentence or pay a huge fine. Billionaire Berni took the fine, unfortunately the other guy couldn't 😉

[@miriamreiss]

@@sydclark5581 The reason why we don't host any GP's in Germany anymore is, it was hosted by the "AvD". That's a private Automobile Club, not a government entity. And they weren't able to serve that amount of money to Ecclestone that he wanted. Because they can't make that much of money out of selling tickets for the venue. The F1-Media got greedy......simple as that. And I don't talk about that infamous "Nurburg-Ring Deals", with Millions invested and than got no race and the company went bankrupt.....

Spa must remain on calendar. The only track currently to feature super changeable conditions. It can happen that on one side it is dry, on the other it is wet. For me, these tracks should have a permanent spot, besides Spa: Silverstone Monza Monaco (not because of the track, but the traditions) Nürburgring Turkey Sepang Hungaroring (I know it might sound loyal to the homeland, but it's a good track) Red Bull Ring COTA Singapore Suzuka

[@philipgrice1026]

It's time for F1 to become a divisional series. More races, more teams, divided up into two series, East and West say, for the first two thirds of the seanson, with the leading teams/drivers from each 'division' being brought together for the last part of the season. This would enable F1 to cover more of the world and more teams and drivers to compete for a World Championship. So, I suggest 36 races with half the teams competing in their first races at different tracks. Double the number of teams to, say, 40 so each race would have 20 teams, with only the best 20 teams from the first 12 races being invited to compete in the last 12 races. This could result in teams being 'invited' to some races with 'starting money', as they were in the past, generating more revenue for the teams as well as more races generating more money for Liberty Media and more entertainment for us, the racing enthusiasts. I'm sure an idea like this could be refined to work without diluting the quality of the racing were it supported by the teams.
