Whichever way one looks at European races, it is inevitable that there will be some rationalisation, with the addition of Zandvoort bound to hit Hockenheim (the most likely loser) or Barcelona, with Mexico having the best chance of the three ‘besieged’ races to retain a slot – certainly if one looks at the imbalance of the calendar as per the table above.
Thus, over time Spa-Francorchamps, arguably the most iconic and certainly the most scenic of all venues on the F1 calendar, will likely be dropped as Liberty makes way for ‘new races in iconic venues’.
