Thus it became a calendar that should bring the 24 races into the third attempt. The Formula 1 World Championship used to be a European sport. Now there are nine in Europe – or ten with Azerbaijan. The dollar-eyed American owners want Spa gone for financial reasons, even though it is one of the best and most popular circuits in the world.
They flirt again with a comeback in South Africa and Argentina. Liberty Media doesn’t mind the stress in the circus (especially the mechanics). The drivers’ negative voices against the number of races don’t get through the bosses’ heads – as long as TV and appearance money flow.
Sport is secondary. The show is all that matters. You ended up cramming through three races in a row with Austin, Mexico City and São Paulo and then Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi. Or six races between October 20 and December 8. Pure madness for the logistics and the people who don’t travel the tens of thousands of kilometers in private jets.
Formula 1 used to be pure passion for drivers, engineers, mechanics, fans and the media. Now you just browse through the program. Divorces, layoffs, heartbreak and burnouts are of little consequence.
