We've got to the point where we have too many races. Race fatigue sets in in the autumn, each race's importance in the championship is diluted, the championship is way more likely to be settled with several races to go. I still remember the good old days of 16 race seasons, you didn't waste half your weekends, you genuinely looked forward to the next race, it had only proper circuits and it ended in October in Suzuka. Then you had 5 months to get pumped up for the next season. Now with almost half of the year's weekends having races I'm getting too saturated, and I'm finding myself struggling to follow whatever random street circuit grand prix in an obscure dictatorship. 2020 calendar was just perfect. 17 races, lots of proper European circuits added that we never saw again.

This year I've watched whatever I can, which is Bahrain race, Saudi quali, half of Australia race, Imola Sprint, Miami race, Spain race, Britain race, Hungary race, half of Dutch race, and Italian race

Saudi Arabia gets major points for the on track missiles.

Nobody will ever convince me that sprint races add anything to F1, they're boring and the only reason they're entertaining in F2/3 is because they're spec series.

128.1 sounds exactly right, but it would be helpful to rank a few recent years against it.

Other than taking up half of my year's weekend my issue with this massive calendar is that there's a lot of back to back races, and triple headers so the power doesn't shift as much between the teams from race to race, simply because there's been no new development of parts.

My ideal Calendar: A lot of annual rotation so we can visit more circuits and places like Malaysia and India which lost commercial interest from hosting every year could may well make every 2 years work: Round 1 - Australasia (March-April) 1. Australia - classic opener 2. Malaysia/India - alternating year by year - great actual racing track to see which cars/drivers are performing 3. Singapore - Enduring night race on a street track 1 week break 4. China/Korea 5. Japan - alternate between Suzuka/Fuji - Finale of the first leg, potential for a reverse championship order sprint race, winner of this round 1 gets their own little trophy. 2 week break Round 2 - Middle East/Africa (May-June) 6. Abu Dhabi 7. Bahrain 8. Baku/somewhere new like Morocco or anywhere where there is oil money 1 week break 9. Turkey 10. - South Africa - Finale of the second leg. Again a reverse championship order sprint race. 2 week break Round 3 - European Leg (July/August) 11. Monaco 12-14 Choose any 3 of Austria/Hungaroring/Nurbergring/Paul Ricard/Imola/Magny Cour/Portimao/Barcelona/Finland 15. Zandfort - annual as long as Max is on the grid, then can get shuffled in with the 12-14 choices 3 week Summer Break Round 4 - European Classics Leg (Late August - Early September - Triple Header) 16. Silverstone - Finale of third leg. 17. Spa 18. Monza - winner of this mini round gets a classic crown of tweeds or something, these could be wildcard races where all 3 have a sprint race and helps close the grid for the final leg. 2 week break Round 5 - Americas (October - November) 19. Canada (the only real weather concern preventing a logical flow is holding this race in what would be early October) 20-21. Choose 2 US races from Ia street track and Indianapolis/Austin 22. Mexico 23. Grand Finale in Brazil.

My biggest gripe with the calendar is the back and forth between all the continents for no reason during the season.

If the calendar was changed to start in Japan, move through Asia to Australia, jump across to brazil and back up to do the US and Canada, then do all the European countries west to east, it can be cut down to just over 50 thousand kms of travel instead. I'm curious what the spending difference would be between the two would be, and if it has much bearing on their net zero thing.

There is something to remember, various locations have weather risks. Going to Canada in the later parts of the year runs the risk of being too cold, possibly even snowed out. Visiting the hot areas, like Miami, Texas, or the Middle Eastern countries at the height of their summer makes things dangerously hot, for drivers, teams, and visiting spectators. Coastal or island venues might have monsoon or hurricane seasons. You get the idea. I do agree that the random jumping around is very detrimental to F1's almost shambolic promises to reduce their carbon footprint, but there are some compromises that will have to be made to reduce the issues outside factors might bring.

In Spain there is a circuit, called "circuito del Jarama" (which already hosted quite some f1 gps from back in the 60s to 1981) that is very likely to be updated and reformed by the same guy who modernized Zandvoort, it's looking to replace current Barcelona circuit when their contract ends in like 2026. Hopefully the race track turns out well and we finally get some actual good racing in a Spanish gp. Another thing to add, Paul Ricard circuit was reformed to be a test track so, instead of using Barcelona circuit why don't they use Paul Ricard for pre-season testing now that it's out of calendar?

7:33 this is actually Switzerland, Austria is just East of it between Germany and Italy.

Would be interesting to look at how shipping goes because flying some people around the globe isn't all that bad compared to all the equipment that needs to be shipped.

Great video! If you don't like the non integer points system or the fact that each track could only add points rather than take them away, I rounded all the track scores to the nearest integer and subtracted 5 to give a range from -4 to 5.

Pls make a video on how f1 racing would look like if it happened from one circuit to the next closest circuit and so on starting from Australia to Las Vegas. Interestingly, Suzuka is so close to being the eastern most circuit in the world lol. Albert park just squeezed through tbh.

Total score: 128.1 Math teachers: "128.1 what? Potatoes? Apple's? Also 128.1 out of what? Out of 1? 200? 129?"

5:12 yeah I missed it, especially in 2023 when they cancelled again, they just returned to china in 2024 a few weeks ago.

Something to note about the Las Vegas race is that its' supposed to start at 10pm local time on the Saturday evening. That means the race will be finishing at around midnight. Seems extreme for a sports event. I know driver/team jet lag is totally overlooked for the calendar - but the 10pm start seems extreme, and having a race on a saturday is weird (I think - 2020 was my first season, maybe they did this for old races in far-away time zones) The teams have a week at home in Europe between Brazil and Las Vegas, so they'll be physically operating on European time before they fly to Vegas. So their bodies will be starting on European time, then flying to Las Vegas where they're expected to operate on days that are 8 hours earlier than their bodies are expecting. But then the race happens at 10pm Vegas time and they're going to be awake until long after midnight on saturday night/sunday morning. It just seems like a weird decision imo. Surely it's not a temperature thing - Yes it's in Nevada, but it's also in November. It won't be particularly hot, and the local sunset is before 5pm so it's not like they're just waiting for darkness for a night race. I guess it's to vaguely preserve EU viewership while also allowing for a Vegas night race, but I just think they could have organised it for a better time.

@knutpohl339

Жыл бұрын

I find that schedule also extremely weird. You got a couple of slight confusions there, though. The day at Las Vegas is 8h later from a European point of view. Not earlier. That also makes the starting time quite inconvenient for European viewers at 6am on Sunday. But maybe that's the reason to choose the Saturday for the race. That way the European audience can watch the replay at a time they're used to watch the races... And it's still a prime time race for American viewers

20 is really the sweet spot for races... starting in aus and ending in brazil would be great, qatar, spain, imola could easely go.

Only 128.1!? That is a crime! Clearly this calendar is objectively worth 128.33! How could you possibly be this wrong!

Honestly I think Abu Dhabi deserves an extra half point because it makes the fans slightly less devastated that it's winter break

Last year I was getting burnt out by usa and i missed a couple later races. I can't see it being any better with more sprints.

i mostly agree with your science. I also come out on 128.1. Only difference is I would have given china 5 instead of 7 and give 2 points for the fact that Paul Ricard is off the calendar.

Slightly odd to focus the map on Switzerland and France rather than Austria when talking about the Austrian GP :) Otherwise solid video

Two points: 1. They should put tracks on a rotation from year to year to keep things interesting and generate hype via scarcity 2. They really should break up the championship into regions and schedule them accordingly. North America could be a mini championship where there are engines/components that have to last for that 'mini championship'. Then they can move to the European mini championship, Asian, African (Kyalami please!), etc... It would cut down on the footprint of F1, and give it a bit more flair and excitement. Doing it in bunches (4 races in 4 weeks etc) would allow the teams to stay in country/region and while a big push, it would cut down on team burnout overall, because you could schedule mini summer breaks between each mini championship...

I have a take on the date format point at 14:15 I would usually be totally on your side on the point about the date format on the F1 website, since DD/MM/(YY)YY is the superior format and might as well be added to the metric system in terms of superiority. But when there is only a month and a day I somehow like the reading flow of "February 23rd" more than "23rd of February". Maybe because in my native language (German) we date things by saying what roughly equates to "23rd February" without the extra preposition, which flows more like the American format while still putting the number before the month as in the British format. Yet, somehow I dislike saying "23rd February" without the "of", it just feels a little jagged to me. Random tangent over.

Test at Barcelona, race at Aragon (or vice versa, pick your poison). Also a modernized Dijon-Prenois would be a great addition IMO; just think of it like Bahrain outer layout with more elevation changes and flow.

I’d be fine with 18 races but that’s about my limit where I’d try to watch them all on the day. That would give us a race very other weekend from mid-March through to the end of November, 14 weeks between seasons and the 4 week summer break. But hey, capitalism and profits. I pare my personal calendar back theses days by simply knowing which races I absolutely want to watch, vs those that I’m really not fussed about. I did enjoy my visit to Monza a few years ago, and the race itself each year, despite the pasting you gave it here, and I would go again (after visits to a few other races though). Sao Paulo, Silverstone, Suzuka and Spa (in no particular order) are my top TV watches.

24 races is, for me at least, 6-7 races too much. Half the excitement around F1 when I first started following it closely in early 2000s was the waiting between races and then making sure not to miss one. Now, if I miss one who cares, next weekend is new race. And when one team dominates like this year then last quarter of the season is like who cares, I have other things to do

How entertained I am as a fan, out of 10: Bahrain - 4 Saudi Arabia - 3 Australia - 5 China - 6 Baku - 8 Miami - 2 Imola - 6 Mónaco - 8 Spain - I love Spain but 4 Canada - I'm Canadian but 7.5 Austria - 2 Great Britain - 5 Hungary - 6 Belgium - 7 Dutch - 6 Monza - 3 Singapore - sometimes 1, sometimes 10, usually 4 Japan - 6 Qatar - 1 Texas - 2 México - 7 Brasil - 5 Las Vegas - predicted 3 Abu Dhabi - 3? One exception, 2021 was stupid but in a popcorn way What I find interesting or fascinating are battles like the 2009 Laguna Seca ALMS race. That race finish was incredible. The thing is, the passes were a challenge because the track was suited for it with multiple racing lines and a lot of precision driving required. Tracks like Monza, Spain, Austria, there's nothing that a driver can do to make themselves look special. Monaco, Baku, Canada, you can have surprise winners because it's possible to drive the car really well by risking crashing into the barriers for that last few tenths of a second that someone like Max or Lewis won't risk. Charles always ends up in the walls in Monaco because he's pushing so hard to try to win in his home race. This gamble makes it exciting to watch. Tracks that I rated at five or below have too much margin of error and are too forgiving. I would happily sit through a race where two cars are separated by a second or two for the entire race, if they're not just conserving tires and driving to the limits of the car, but instead slightly overdriving the car and risking a crash. Seeing one car take a high line and the other car takes the opposite line but somehow they come out of the corner at the same speed, that's real racing. I don't like fake DRS overtakes making it easy unless the overtaken car gets a chance to get the position back right away like in Baku... And I loved the end of the 2022 Monaco GP where Sérgio barely beat Carlos and they fought really hard.

So the reason for the Atlantic hopping in the summer is the hospitality areas. There’s one set in the Americas and you can’t do back to back races with the same set

In Liberty Media's chase in ever higher revenue, they might just ends with losing instead in the long term. With so many races the stakes goes down as you always have more time and more chances to climb back up. sometime to much of something isn't necessary a good ting. What they should do is bring back some of the magic with an 16-18 race season, and bring down the points system a notch.

yup, just watch as the average viewership plummets as people get bored of too many races, and the 6 sprints are just ridiculous, sprint is not much fun, if it was reverse grid and didnt affect the starting grid then we would see some flat out racing, also all the viewers dont have time to watch every race

While I agree on most of it there are a few tracks I absolutely would like to see gone - Austria: Personally I find it pretty boring as a track also known as worse Interlagos - Saudi Arabia and Qatar: I don't think you have to ask why - Miami: .... you have this big a country and great racing tracks and instead of putting money into them to get them compatible with F1 you choose THIS??? In general I think it would be great to have much more movement in the F1 calendar and not have the same tracks every year plus only a few rotating though I am aware enormous effort in planning and logistics would be needed to pull this off. On a even more personal level I quite like Hungary, Catalunya and Imola not because they provide great racing but because they are fun to drive which I personally can't say about Monza. I don't know if this is an absolute hot take but I liked India, Korea and even the Valencia Street Circuit. PS: Can we please have Malaysia back.Thank you.

The fact that Azerbaijan is rated an 8, sames as Silverstone and Suzuka tells you everything you need to know about F1 fandom. When this track was announced, it received the same hate that Miami gets today. "Another boring street track" "no on track action" "mickey mouse section through the castle" "boring 90 degree corners" etc etc. A few years later, it's up there with the best tracks in the world. I fully expect the same to happen to Miami. Once the tarmac settles, and convergence of car design starts to happen under the new rules bringing the field back together, the track will provide a better show than staples like Barcelona, Monaco, or Melbourne. But, unlike Azerbaijan, Americans will never get the praise, because "aMeRiCaNs aRe RuInInG f1"

I was at Miami as a spectator, and all it reinforced to me was that F1 is only there for prestige, not to make more fans of F1 in America. Unless they can get the rampant overpricing under control, fix the logistical nightmare that they built for themselves, get rid of the stupid chicane under the bridge, and improve the general admission facilities so people aren't sick with heat exhaustion left and right, Miami will continue to be a garbage venue only there to cater to the rich destination crowd. Vegas threatens to be more of the same.

@@VictorFAmaya I got in for free. Even that wasn't worth it. The product I saw at Miami was far from "premium". As a spectator I got standing room by the fences, two-ish grandstands, an arena where the view to the track was blocked by the multi-thousand dollar themed areas, anemic "water fountains" that took minutes plural to fill a normal water bottle and most of the time weren't even cold, porta-johns for bathroom facilities, and a five-mile walk to anything on an asphalt jungle because of poor routing. Almost no wonder the hospitals nearby were slammed with heat exhaustion victims. And while the concession food was good, it was still expensive for what I got. Oh, but don't forget the "yacht club" on a fake beach with tan felt where I could peruse a vendor display and get my own bespoke, multi-million dollar large boat. All the while the actual boats on the clear plastic "marina" were pumping massive amounts of water because those stupid goddamn things run their AC on water circulation. Miami was a farce, and if that's what F1 considers a "premium product", then it's not worth wasting money on. If this is how F1 wants to get fans in the US, they're going about it completely wrong.

stu lad I couldn't help but notice that you zoomed in on switzerland when you were talking about austria

I know that F1 is inherently a European sport, despite it always being advertised as a Global one, but it has expanded into the US significantly. I'm glad that people are embracing that three races isn't that bad (although I'd prefer to scrape Miami in lieu of another US track already). The US is huge compared to Europe. In fact, the US is over double the size of the entire EU (including the UK and Ireland) and I feel like people truly underestimate that. It's also the most diverse nation in the world. How Africa and Germany is completely unrepresented is beyond me. South Africa should've been added onto this calendar. Monaco needs to go. I get the heritage and legacy, but it's entirely incompatible with F1 as it is today. All things come to an end. I actually like Qatar, and I'm REALLY excited to see these ground effect cars go through S2. Qatar as a country actually isn't as bad as the west portrays. I've been there personally and it's actually pretty liberated (moreso than Bahrain or Saudi Arabia) aside from small factions of Shia's. It's as free and safe as the US is in today's generation. Overall, it's another F1 schedule, but there's always room for improvement, and there needs to be some serious evaluation surrounding certain tracks and the lack of representation in Africa.

Spa has been late August, not early September. It was my birthday race. Now it's Zandvoort. 27th August, on my birthday, Zandvoort.

Just like those rebels

'net zero carbon by 2030' but we're gonna travel 150 000 km for this calendar instead of roughly 50 000 km if the races were held in groups, e.g. begin with middle eastern races, then european races, then the races in the americas then finishing the season with the races in the far east and pacific

My biggest gripe with Saudi track is the blind super fast turns comes packaged with close hard walls is while kinda dangerous but is unique …… but also makes me question even more why f1 has never considered an oval or two per season if only for variety or even an 90s style Hockenheim ring?

Ok the thing about Saudia Arabia being hard to overtake is not true considering Max and Charles were playing DRS chicken. I also think while it isn’t a great track that was probably the race of the year for me at least when it comes to battles for the lead.

me too bro i'm end of august can't believe they're moving spa

Am I the only one who quite likes the Saudi GP? Races have been pretty fun, while fantastically dangerous and ridiculous with an oil refinery on fire in the background, and that odd DRS zone on the last corner, I just really have enjoyed both races there. Maybe cos there was some stiff competition between Ham/Ver & Ver/Lec.

Belgium at the end of july is a good thing. August is a very wet month usually here. Moving it to sooner lowers the chances of it being rained out. Let's be fair Spa in the rain is borderline suicide, we should minimize the time spent taking eau rouge in the wet.

Yes Next Year French Grand Prix Removed On The Calendar!

Never really like it. Won't be missed.

Mugello. Then another mugello round. Aside from 2021 Brazil, was the best racing we’ve seen for a decade. Bahrain outer ring with these cars would be great too.

LOL, I watched this right after watching some board game videos, so when you mentioned Gloomhaven, I didn't bat an eye. But then it dawned on me...this is an F1 video! Enjoy your Gloomhaven :)

Interesting that the complaints are often about the new tracks and the long autumn but actually the majority of the low ratings for tracks were in the early Europe stage. Maybe that is where we should be cutting tracks

Living in Australia I only give up a bit of sleep given the typical time of day that the races run during the year. The more races the better. Australia should be first or last though and run at 3pm local time. It would be nice if they did the races that are in roughly similar time zones together.

Spa was usually at literally the weekend of my birthday that and it being one of the home races... hate what they've done with it, weather reasons are dumb too, last year we had those floods in july

Real talk though, finally someone else who is willing to throw away imola. However I do find it impossible for a sub 20 race calendar to exist when there is already a general agreement that there is tracks missing from the calendar. Pretty much everywhere I've seen agree we need a race in Africa (so South African GP), a return to Germany, a rotating race within Europe and Malaysia. So to take a 24 race calendar down to 20 while adding 4 more would mean cutting 8. Heres my suggestions -Imola, You only get one, Monza does it better -Miami You only get one, COTA does it better -Vegas You only get one, idk it might not be meh but it also might get diffed by COTA -Jeddah You already know why -Qatar Losail really aint that interesting -Yas Marina what a meh way to end a season -Spain I guess its a good opportunity to have a nap -Zandvoort, honestly Zandvoort just drew the shortest straw. Its not exactly the best for racing and odds are it's ability to get on to the calendar is pretty much all owed to Verstappen. And like Spa is like a block away. It was really this or Hungary and Hungary won out on history.

The commonly proposed "ideal solution" is to have tracks on rotation. Have some permanent venues on the calendar, like say Spa, but otherwise have any given spot in a season moved between three or four different tracks. One year they might go to Imola, the next year Monza, Mugello the next year. It avoids spaces being wasted by cynical prestige grabs like Miami or Las Vegas for several years.

Appreciate F1's interest in the USA but as an American I feel a bit pandered to with the 2 street circuits + COTA. So many awesome real tracks in USA and elsewhere, no need to visit 2 subpar temporary tracks. That said I may go to the one in Vegas... 😆

You forgot to mention the hotel in yas marina, it's a phalic building that glows in the dark.

Mexico is the one track that I forget exist. One of the tracks of all time as you'd say. The races are usually oddly forgettable, even though there have been big moments in them. But the track layout? Can't remember it ever.

I now want to know more about Chain Bear's Gloomhaven campaign.

for me, i think 24 races is a lot when I'm thinking logically now that I use a VPN and only pay £6 a month, but if I was to still be paying sky £40 a month year-round, damn right your racing 24 weeks in a year, no shot im paying £40 a month over a winter break and then having multiple months where I'm paying to watch 2 races a month sometimes only 1...

7:14 "Austria!" (Proceeds to zoom in on Switzerland)

I will never understand people's obsession with having less races. From the people working in the teams' POV it makes a whole lot of sense. But as a fan: I always hate when there is no F1, 2 weeks break like now makes me miss it a lot. For me the optimal schedule would be F1 every second week on average throughout the year.

I stopped watching football that much because to follow a team I need to watch 2 matches 90 mins each every week of the team and then at least 2 other matches of rival teams to be fully into the standings etc. But in F1 you have 2 hours each second Sunday (even less) where all 20 drivers are to be seen together. You can watch quali if you want and that takes it up to 3 hours per weekend. Is that too much for you? Well don't watch then.
