Rotating SPA should be embarrassing for F1.

Rotating SPA should be embarrassing for F1.

Why? If they were making room for another in the Middle East, sure. But they want the sport to be a truly global thing, and I fully welcome that. It comes with its risks, sure, but it enhances the lives of fans and businesses in the places it happens. I think they should rotate every race.

I feel you need to keep your staples. Rotate the rest.

Spa is arguably the best track/setting in F1.

If that was the point, they should probably start by not having two races whose distance between which is similar to Montreal - Ottawa.

Montreal and Ottawa are in the same nation. I don’t disagree about the closeness, but I think moving a couple of the European races to Africa or South America would be good. Honestly, I don’t think that should be SPA, but I’m also not in charge of F1.

Erhhm.. I was referring to Monza and Imola, both located about 250 km from each other, AND located in the same country. But I should'Ve realized that Spa and Zandvoort are also close one to another.

Zandvoort will leave the calendar in a few seasons. 2026 I think. Which will mean the closest track to Spa is, like, Silverstone.
