RE: Spa-Francorchamps out of the Formula 1 after 2025?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The racing calendar is going to increase the number of races ad expect to see 30 races soon enough. Vietnam already built 3/4 of their circuit before it was placed on hold, Expect more races in the East and US with a street circuit in New York being added.

30 races in a season? That’s madness, logistically and financially for the teams… I don’t see that happening, really
Logistically tis is easy as most teams have 3 complete kits for race days and send them ahead sometimes months in advance. Logistic costs are covered by Liberty Media and if you have 5 races in America alone then there is no lost weeks in between races. You could bundle Vietnam, China, Singapore, Japan and Australia as another group over consecutive weekends and Europe will just lose a few races. The money is in the US and will be their main focus. We just lost 3 weeks after they had already had a month summer break so there is plenty of weekends not being used. Teams just make more money so they will be happy with this.
I think we can expect another one in Saudi-Arabia too… Sad for Spa though
