Weather forecast is looking not too different to last year

 

[jb04]

Yes yes yes give me this vibe (and eventual race result) please.

Could be very easy for one of the title contenders to DNF around here, particularly if there is rain.

One of my favourite circuits a real race track. And real fans.

Silverstone, Spa, Monza and Interlagos are all S Tier tracks

If we see a repeat of last year this will be epic; from the Max GOAT to the Stroll DOAT it had it all

Go Oscar!

Ah yes, the next chapter of the "Oscar Piastri is a mental pygmy" saga, based based on what all the psychologists on all forums have said. We can all be voyeurs watching his mental destruction.

Reddit is a cesspool at the moment of pro-Lando crap. Of course, Zak Brown isn't helping.

The man is a pro at this, why you be hating?

One of the better races on the calendar. Adding rain is always spicy as well.

Would absolutely love to see a bit of Hamilton magic!

It seems to always rain for the Brazil race. Is it a time of year thing?

I wonder if they would consider doing what they did with Japan, and move Brazil into the window where you have Miami and Montreal (which I believe are going to be grouped together in future seasons).

I can take or leave Monza tbh, more so the history and fan aspect of it but the track itself isnt my favourite for racing under current regulations. Spa is still great but its been neutered down significantly

I would say Suzuka and Montreal are S-tier, even if Suzuka has been tamed with 130R. Sepang (Malaysia) was unbelievable too watching 4-5 cars come down turn 1 until 2017

Agree on Montreal and Suzuka (although overtaking in Suzuka can be a bit tricky with current cars, but a great and unique track).

Austin also for me is up there.

June/July?AUgust are driest months. But its a tropical climate even in these months average rainfall is 100mm+ per month

Sleeper hits for me are Bahrain and China as well. Plenty of memorable moments and on-track overtaking.

They don't have the rich history and nostalgia a bunch of the European tracks do.

Note that all of these have one thing in common

THEY ARE RACING CIRCUITS. As in they are locations that were designed purely for motor racing, and funnily enough produce good motor racing.

Miami and Montreal are scheduled next year for May, just before Monaco

Honestly think that if you remove Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Monaco, its a really solid calendar. I despise everything about Miami but the races are okay and Florida is pretty big in motorsport. Chuck Hockenheim back in

Istanbul also a fantastic circuit.

Istanbul also a fantastic circuit.

In: Istanbul, Malaysia, Kyalami (I think the layout would work for F1)
Out: Miami, Madrid, Zandvoort/Qatar

Out: Miami, Madrid, Zandvoort/Qatar

Never liked Jeddah either. I know it has its advocates tho.

My calendar grouped by region is:

Canada, CoTA, Mexico, Brazil for the Americas.

Australia, Japan, China, Singapore, Malaysia for Asia.

1x maybe 2x Gulf States, Bahrain and... Abu Dhabi I guess.

Baku.

And like 12-15 of those glorious European races that start at 11pm so we can all jump in the race weekend threads while we're delirious but still awake.

I enjoy Bakku
