General F1 Discussion / Re: Future Schedule for F1

« Last post by Willy on January 12, 2025, 02:41:48 PM »

Spa is my fav track but when you look at the amount of seating around the track it is not as much as other tracks. This may very well be due to the layout and geography of the track making adding seating difficult and expensive. It's not just the seats they need but infrastructure for those seats, washrooms, food, parking etc. Without many bums in seats the local promoter does not get the revenue required to pay F1 to bring the show to town.

I understand Jeri's point of rotating tracks each year to allow more fans to experience F1 live and I also understand Liberty wanting to increase viewers in the USA by adding tracks there. But, I will not be sad when those horrible races in Miami and Vegas are a things of the past.

Once again Jeri cuts to the heart of the matter. RBR does not have a firm hand at the helm and without that, they are reactive, not proactive. Max can gives results but the long term view is missing until someone steps up and is willing to be the "buck stops here" person.

I know it's tough not having the best tracks every single year, but I do like the idea of rotating tracks.  You can't grow the sport by going back to the same places all the time.  This gives more fans a chance to go worldwide.  And if some tracks aren't getting sell outs every year, I would expect them to sell out more often if people have two years to plan and save.

I know that the Canadian GP was off the calendar for a few years, and now the prices are higher (boo) but it's selling out (yay).

F1 has announced that after 2027 the Belgian GP at Spa will only be held every other year. In addition the 2026 schedule has 3 races competing for 2 open spots. Imola. Vegas and Mexico City are not officially in and only 2 spots are unconfirmed.

Snowboarding is out of the question, too.

We had about 6" (15.24 cm) here Sunday night/Monday morning. Oddly, the further south the higher the snow this time. Calling for some more tonight.

My neighborhood still hasn't seen a snowplow. We only get snowplows in months that don't have an r in their names. 

9 and a half of snow here with 1 inch of nice freezing rain. Maybe 5 inches
more Friday
