Okay, imagine it. You’ve become F1’s new CEO, and you’ve been given total control over the F1 calendar. It doesn’t matter if a circuit has a contract, you have the power to keep it, remove it or put it on rotation every couple of years.
With fears that F1 could continue to add new races in the coming years, adding to an already busy 23-race calendar, here at WTF1 we’re interested in seeing what circuits the fans actually want to see year on year and which they’re happy to say bye bye to 👋
