Suzuka is a stunning track, incredible cornering speed and reminds me of Schumacer in his pomp!
When last time was interesting race? For me racing here are boring
Schumacher in his, pomp the most boring F1 in history. He has the fastest car and his team mate has to let him win. At least when Mercedes dominated Lewis and Nico contested every race, not so much with Valtteri.
Yes Gent.
@@philspencelayh5464 one salty merc fanboy you are mate
@@Indy_660 it's not the track it's the cars 😅
There are so many good tracks it’s difficult to fit them all into a calendar, so I’m all for rotating if necessary
However my biggest fear is the amount of street circuits we’re getting. Saudi, Miami, Las Vegas and now Qatar…plz make it stop! Give us proper circuits, we already have enough street circuits
I thought Qatar is building a real circuit. Don’t tell me it’s another street circuit
@@cakexpress6235 i mean we already have losail why would they build a street circuit
bruuuh street circuts bring in money for F1 so they chasing money instead of making proper race tracks, Like Baku and Jeddah are my personal favourite street cuircuts however adding more will end up killing the sport cause The only tracks which will be entertaining would be track races
Saudi and Miami are the opposite of street circuits
@@magnussencube well yah but we had bad history with racing in car parks so Miami is one we will see if its good or not
As a Brazilian, I'm sure that Interlagos NEEDS to stay forever in the calendar, along with Monaco, Monza, Imola, Silverstone and Spa
Imola 💯💯💯 best track ever
Monaco is a shit
@@jonas6295 yes. But Imola should've been removed.
@@purwantiallan5089 j
How so?
Monaco should go
Interlagos needs to be the season finale again. 2008 and 2012 spring to mind instantly with my thoughts here.
they don't pay enough money for that.
Otherwise, yes.
Also with Australia opening the Season
@@patricktho6546 Pity...
They should build an exact clone copy of interlagos with milimetrical precision in qatar or saudi arabia, because with brazil economic situation as it is, the best f1 track of all time doesn't have a secure future
@@patricktho6546 i agree with you.
@@evandrochaves9596 replace Paul Ricard with Motegi.
I ADORE Spa-Francorchamps, and let's just say, it needs to stay. PERMANENTLY.
Edit: 900 likes?! I never expected this comment to blow up!
Edit 2: Okay. I was just expressing my thoughts. How does this have a thousand likes?!
It can go honestly my least favorite
Sure i also like to see Spa-Francorchamps, but i like safety too.
@@_blakep 🤡🤡🤡
@@MsMiDC Its not the safety people,dont like to admit it but races there have been boring since 2014
@@_blakep Please explain how you don’t like it, I really can’t imagine how that is possible.
I very much liked Portimao and Mugello and with the new cars races could be very interesting.
Portimão certainly, Mugello maybe for testing only.
You have my support entirely. Both were more than just good races
@@SwiftR OMG imagine the porpoising on the front stretch lmao… That’ll send you up to space
Mugello is my favourite track, but I'm not sure it would be a nice circuit for F1.
Funny how alot of middle East circuits are hated so much, even though the races arnt actually that bad
Monaco can go straight in the bin, then the bin can be put in a box, then the box taped shut, then put on a wagon, wagon should drive to edge of a cliff, box should be then thrown off cliff, when box lands it should be set on fire at the bottom of the cliff, then dynamite the cliff to cause a rock slide. Only then would Monaco be good.
But will it improved overtake skill?
If it not and if riders hate that idea, Monaco could be out from the calendar
I think the setting of the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg is the most beautiful of all the race tracks in Formula 1.
Also being there live is great, screens along all parts of the track and a great view from the stands along the straight between turns 1 and 3. You can see about 4 to 6 of the 10 corners, depending on were you sit (we had a view on pit exit and turns 2,3,5,6,7 and 8 right across form the bull). Lot's of Dutch fans tho, but a McLaren fan will blend right in ;). and food/drink prices ain't even that bad for an event about €5,- for a pint
Portimão definitely should stay in the calendar! Imagine 2022 spec cars racing wheel to wheel on those slopes ! 🇵🇹
it's definitly one of a few which by al means could stay on the calander for a while if the cars can follow. the new albert park layout can prove it's worth this weekend. same goes for singapore and the netherlands. honestly bring the german GP (hockenheim or nurnburgring) and the malasian GP back. those would do awsome with the new cars
nah. Portimao is overrated. It's nice visually but the racing there sucked, it was even worse than Spain
PORTUGAL CARALHO!
estes rissóis de cona assistiram a duas boas corridas em Portimão que tal como disseste podia ser potenciadas com os novos regulamentos, mas não o que é bom é o mesmo de sempre...
Conas de sabão!
A meu ver devia a haver uma ou duas corridas durante a época em locais aleatórios e assim também veríamos mai acção como foi durante o cóbicho
I disagree I think if there’s another Portuguese Grand Prix F1 should go to Estoril and for the Spanish Grand Prix F1 should drop Barcelona and go to Jerez
@@zadafcb happy ramadhan Cole Trickle. 🙏
When I first saw Spa I fell in love with it. Then when I got into sim racing, I started loving it even more. Its simply a blast to drive. And now that cars appear to be able to overtake a lot easier, can't wait to see how it performs!
Driving spa in a high downforce car is as good as it gets
@@deafy9666 couldn't agree more! And when I get Eau Rouge/Raidillon just right, it hypes me up for the rest of the lap!
I have been really paying attention to F1 for the last 3-4 years, and with racing games on tablets/phones (Real Racing 3) I appreciate the sport even more! Spa is really fun to drive even on a phone, the first time it showed up in the game I was hooked on that track, it's kinda weird but I really like the red and yellow kerbs too.
I plah f1 2013 and Spa is mu favorite circuit so much fun
@@SPMinerva try it on an actual sim. It will blow ur mind
Silverstone 🇬🇧, Spa 🇧🇪, Monza 🇮🇹, Interlagos 🇧🇷 and Suzuka 🇯🇵 absolutely must stay forever until the end of time
Monaco 🇲🇨 needs to go and be hosted as a stand alone non championship race
And Germany 🇩🇪 needs to return and France 🇫🇷 needs to go back to Magny Cours
Magny Cours were more shit, than Paul Ricard. All races had 0 overtakes and also the track was out in the middle of nothing. Drivers also hated it...
Also remove all the American circuits. They all suck
Whats the point of making monaco a non championship race?
@@worstgamer1162 cota is really good though
The problemi of Monaco Is the wideness of the Cars, and the only solution to solve the problem Is to introduce a limit of how the Cars must be wide
I miss the previous Silverstone layout (the one without the "infield" like it use to be in the early 2000s) and Barcelona without the boring chicane.
I'm honestly surprised to not see my home circuit (Canada - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve), it's a really good track that gives solid amount of actions, the hard breaking corners and also can't forget about the Wall of Champions!
My top 5 favorite will always be Singapore (5th), Zandvoort (4th), Baku (3rd), Spa (2nd) and CGV (1st)!
I love Canada! But I have some bad feelings about it because of the Seb incident. Hope we will see an awesome race soon.
I think Canada is quite a good track but Zandvoort didn't convince me that much. Need a couple more races there to make my mind on it a bit better.
@@soundscape26 I think Zadvoort is more fun, and challenging for the drivers than us. But time will tell.
@@Bluehoshiflower added bonus of arguably the best crowd and atmosphere of any race. Although the track itself needs to proof itself yeah
I'm super happy we don't see it on any of these lists. It's a favorite amongst drivers though so unsurprisingly it has a good following.
I don't think we will ever get rid of Monaco. So much history, half of the grid lives there, and we have Charles now... Personally, I am not really a big fan of Silvertone, but I can't imagine a season without it. Suzuka is one of my favorite tracks, Canada, and Singapore as well. I miss India. And Interlagos should be the last race! As a Seb fan 2012 still gives me chills.
All the tracks the core F1 fans like will stay. And by core fans, I mean the ultra rich that go to races to show their wealth. This means that America will get more races, that Monaco will stay and that the Middle East will be booming. Because that's where the people with money are, or rather, the people F1 sees as their core fans.
It's evident when you watch the races. There are needless camera zooms on random celebs, celebs get invited to the paddock for no reason, and the F1 parties are all but inaccesible to the public. F1 is and has always been a party for the rich, we're merely allowed to watch it from a distance.
If half of the grid lived in my apartment there wouldn't be a race around it, would it now?
Monaco can stay just for the vibes. Get rid of Baku
@@Bananektdu apartment international circuit, the drivers race with R.C cars around the floors
the drivers that live in monaco only live there for tax evasion purposes.
Monaco, 75% want it to stay?? Every time I see the argument online it looks like it’s going against having it.
Don’t get me wrong, the event itself is spectacular and the hype around it is awesome, but the race itself is bloody snooze fest 😅😅
Because the Saturday would decide the win. The last time it does not decide the win was on 2017 where Seb despite start second but good undercut allow him to win
Monaco is all about Saturday. The races are glorified parades but qualifying is incredible. More than a few major contracts have been sealed with solid qually performances at Monaco.
Unfortunately until someone discovered that you could ascertain your qualifying position by crashing near the end of Q3...
There has to be some rule (even when it is only applied at circuits like Monaco) to prevent that.
Knowing the mistakes F1 made in the 1980's, that are being repeated now, I don't think F1 should even go to the car park in Miami or Las Vegas. Nigel Mansell (who is well placed to say this) said that Mid-Ohio is a track as great for driving and racing as Spa. That is high praise, certainly compared to ill-conceived money grabs that pretend to be race tracks
I thought that Road America was in Wisconsin. Is there a different one?
They're not car parks though. Sure, it was way back when, but these races should actually be pretty exciting to watch and fun venues. I'm waiting to formulate my final opinion until after the races are over
Laguna Seca would be awesome for F1
@@averyplote7148 look at the Miami layout, it's entirely centred on the car park of Hard Rock Stadium 🤦♂️
@@zachpadgett5235 you're right, I mixed the two up, comment will be adjusted accordingly. It was Mid-Ohio I was thinking of, but Elkhart Lake, WI is another great purpose built track as well I feel
I would like to see a comeback with Sepang and ofc first of all I'm Malaysian but Sepang is not so bad after all
Sepang is a banger of a track, used to love the race in older F1 games.
SEPENG(MALAYSIA) , BUDH(INDIA) ,KYALAMI(SA) ,ISTANBUL PARK(TURKEY).
are pretty good too .
I would say they produce as good races as the OG tracks like SILVERSTONE , MONZA , INTERLAGOS etc.
If they had been introduced earlier they could have been a part of the "elite" group of circuits.
trust me. a lot of people would love to see sepang make a comeback. i very much love that track
mandalika and lagoi : we listening
@@zuni46 Termas too.
Shanghai is really underrated. The 2016 race had the most overtakes of any race in history. The one where Kvyat hit Vettel and Kimi at Turn 1 and Rosberg won.
"You came in like a torpedo!"
It did until the 2023 GP of Zandvoort which now hold the record of overtakes.
Hot take, i think Jeddah is one of the best circuts on the calender, its amazing with super highspeed corners
@@mbbb9244 I hope you’ll be boycotting the other Middle East races as well as the American, Mexican and British races. Australia and Canada must be right on the fence too, huh?
@@mbbb9244 can’t forget to boycott China and Russia races if they come back
I love it for the layout, Hate it for where it's located.
Fine let's keep Monaco but have the drivers go at it in Karts so we can give the TV directors a chance to make some more memes.
Great idea!
For me, the top 3 iconic tracks are Spa, Silverstone and Monza.
Nice piece… you should make a piece on tracks that should make a F1 return just to be complete.
I bet Sepang will be one of the top tracks.
Silverstone meh...spa,Suzuka,Brazil,monza
@@adityaramesh7565 Spa, Monza, Monaco imo
The issue with Silverstone is that it was mangled in the most recent layout change, it used to be a great track.
@@hasnulhafizi987 Monaco🙃🙃
Silverstone is definitely not iconic.
Monaco has the rare distinction for an F1 circuit that you can see roughly half the circuit from one spot (up the hill on the south side of the harbour), although that has reduced slightly since the new yacht club was built obscuring the tunnel exit.
Monaco, I always hated that track because you know who wins the race on Saturday not Sunday. You can easily go with watching highlights of the race and you won't miss a thing. Crashes and mechanical problems are the only thing that change the outcome of Qualy. I know is a difficult track and that all the heritage and history but it's just boring unless you are there in the parties and stuff.
Think of it as a time trial stage in Le Tour de France. Let’s be honest, Monaco Qualification is on another level from the rest of the calendar. As a matter of fact, they could remove the Sunday race and I would still love Monaco.
I remember a couple of years ago (last time I actually watched some of the race), most of the overtaking attempts that were made, was at the Nouvelle chicane, and most of them were Verstappen dive-bombing. The track is just WAY too narrow for modern F1 cars.
That hasn't worked for at least the last 3 races there, just sayin'...
Jeddah is a entertaining track that gives is good racing… i hope jeddah stays for a while
I have a feeling the Shanghai thing is less of a comment on the track and more on it's location.
Possibly. The original one was bad. It did improve but not enough to make it exciting though
I wonder if it's just people still thinking of the Singapore sling 😂
@@mrkillerspartan1 that's a completely different track in a completely different country
Yes, I think a portion of the votes were motivated by that. The Shanghai circuit is not spectacular but it's good enough to warrant a place in the calendar.
What’s wrong with the location
Jeddah is a great track 🤣 I think people will come around. Race was nuts 🍿
Yeah I love the track with its great racing and loads of fun on the games
Monaco and Spa have to stay because F1 understands how important the tracks are. They still race on them even though both of them don't actually qualify as possible tracks F1 can race on. They broke the rules for these 2 because they understood how important they are, so why would they get of something they are trying so hard to keep.
These two along with Monza and Silverstone were there at the beginning, they should stay.
I'd replace Spa with Laguna Seca.
Agree Spa should be in the sport for as long as it exists
Once Qatar was revealed as one of the Worst according to fans, despite the track not being unveiled yet shows that the hate does not come from the track layout or excitement itself but on its location alone. China, Saudi, UAE are some of the most perplexing locations out there, so no wonder why the hate there. But if people are just being objective about it, Jeddah is not that bad in terms of track, and Yas Marina quite improved with its new layout. And of course, Shanghai is also a nice track which provides plenty of action. And if we were only talking about track layout which provides great action, Monaco should be gone.
Jeddah is hated mainly becuase it's one of the most unsafe tracks of them all. Also missiles exploding near the track might make people dislike it even more
Yas Marina would be so boring if it wasn’t the last race of the season. Saudi is just unsafe and isn’t that interesting. Qatar is probably based on the track we raced at last year which was sooo boring so understandable people want it gone. Also, I don’t understand the problem with not wanting to race in countries that don’t even provide basic human rights?
Honestly, only now I discovered that the race won't be at Losail. If I had voted, I would have voted thinking it would be that layout.
@@w3ghe711 interesting enough, the only Abu Dhabi race that was genuinely good was the 2012 one and it was not the last race
@@yiannis312 The missiles and the danger of the track are concerning but even if those were not there people will still hate the track cause of how europeans and americans think that the way they run their countries is the best way
even if it is why shouldn't a young saudi boy not be able to watch his favourite drivers race in his country
I really like mugello and it’s so underrated because I feel like everyone only thought about the 3 crashes that race when we had good racing other than those crashes like albon’s overtake on ricciardo at San donato corner so really, we all just think about the crashes when we had some good racing in the race too
Be curious to know where the Albert Park GP and circuit fits in? Closer to the worst or the best tracks around??
Or do we wait until post the 2022 race and driver feedback on the upgraded track etc.?!
Yes we had 2 breathtaking close races in Jeddah but its should go instead of Monaco
nonsense.
I think it’s less about public perception of the racing and more about the country. Specifically that a missile landed within sight of the track. Obviously people don’t want drivers getting hurt.
@@flyfyrestreams6341 I agree, if we can look away from the controversy for a sec: It has actually had really great racing. The only thing needed is more space for safety. They dont even have to change the racing line, just the walls
Totally agree... Theres a massive hate train surrounding Jeddah and I don't get it
Jeddah IS a great track... its just.. in a VERY complicated area of the world... sad honestly..
@@delynnrosenberry7185 Its because of the country itself. Breaking human rights, they recently executed 84 people in one day. But ffs every country breaks human rights
Sepang should be added back to the calendar
For me as a fan of brazilian drivers I am completly in love with Interlagos aswell. For me Interlagos is connected with two moments: 2008 title decider and 1991 Senna's home win
Monaco can't be taken seriously as a race for the championship. It can stay as a sort of demo race. No points to be awarded, just prestige. And money, obviously. It's more an excuse for billionaires to bring in their yachts.
Other tracks that I would not miss: Hungaroring, Mexico, Bahrain.
Tracks I would like to see back: Kuala Lumpur, Nurburgring
I want to know that 5% of people who didn't vote for Spa to stay on the calendar.
They’re probably the people that work for F1 who are removing it for 2023 (rumour has it)
@@jk844100 Don't say that's so, Spa is a staple in the calendar, as this video shows.
They're probably the one who crashed into Eau Rouge on F1 2021
they were salty about the 2021 2 lap race
Its me i hate the track
I think the jeddah track is challenging and unique and it makes for great content
exactly, that is a really good track but people always bring in politics and their views instead of thinking about the sport, Jeddah is dangerous but it is also such an entertaining track, we only had 2 races but already I say its absolutely amazing
it is also legit dangerous.
@@09csr that's just what everyone says and then everyone believes that. It's not that bad, it's a great track.
@@Questary Ignoring politics. I think driver safety is a problem, on and off track. I don't think you can justify racing in a place with missle strikes
@@Stettafire true but that can be a once off issue
As a Belgian I agree with your final statement about SPA, sadly our government isn't really concerned with motorsports
I have to say, Paul Ricard was AMAZING when the cars could follow last year. So if the car can follow now with the new regulations… Paul Ricard might actually start to consistently be a banger.
I would like to know where all of the tracks placed on this list. Like COTA, The Red Bull Ring, Albert Park, Hungaroring. Etc.
I despise almost all of them.
The only one I like is the Austria GP in Spielberg (or the Styrian GP).
I don't need more than one race per year hear. The track is just not too exciting to me.
And I would be interested the entire results, too.
@@999999SkyGuy with the 2021 cars and V8 cars, COTA made a good race. Especially for us American viewers. Even if it’s a tilker track with some of his usual tricks. He made a damn good track. It’ll be nice to see how the 2022 cars do. NASCAR was good there with their cars this year
@@police428 COTA would be a great track if it were not for the parking lot sized run offs.
I really like Jeddah. If you hate it cuz it's dangerous they could make it safer by removing the sausages kerbs and widening the blind corners a bit. Other than that, it's thrilling as fuck
Bet the drivers love driving it, flows so well.
@@BeastyEggzz exactly, the only downside is that yes it is super dangerous but if they do those 2 things I said, it could make the track so much safer and keep the same amount of thrillingness to it
@burghurs yeah, in my eyes its had a 100% success rate in terms of entertaining races so far even the qualifying too.
@@BeastyEggzz agreed, I love quali and the race has been great too
Silverstone, Spa, Monaco, Monza. They have been there since the beginning of this sport, they are it's roots, so I believe that no matter how bad racing they may provide they should all be kept no matter what.
Monaco can go for all I care, if someone can win that race after loosing 40% power (because of a faulty MGU-H) after the pitstop it's not a race. Don't get me wrong quali is an absolute thrill to watch, but the race is pretty much a precession. the other races I do agree should stay
Basilis, also Suzuka.
@@yoeriw7099 Yes and true it is too easy to predict
And even a rider can win despite a dead tyre because you literaly can't past at Monaco
Monaco is the only track you listed that doesn't give good racing.
Monaco just frees up a Sunday.
You can watch the first 3 laps, go do something else and come back for the last 3 laps with no major changes in the order of cars having occurred. (Unless someone DNFs or fucks up a Pit Stop).
The most exciting day of Monaco GP weekend is Saturday.. because of Qualifying. The race itself is just boring af.
And its weekend format also had problem
It should be follow all the other F1 weekend(FP1 and FP2 at Friday instead of Thursday)
Bring back Turkey imo. Always loved that track in the sim. Missed it in F1
Really!?! Jeddah!?! 2 races in row that I feel like were great races. The track just needs more error space for safety
My must haves are (in no specific order) Suzuka, Interlagos, GV circuit, Spa, Hockenheim, Singapore, Monza and Monte Carlo. I also really like Austin.
2 parts to this comment:
1. There sbould be a list of what circuits F1 fans want back on the calendar *cough* Malaysia
2. I like the variety of the calendar. We have a wide range of versions of cjrcuits, from 3 km Monaco to 7 km Spa. A 23 race calendar must have a variety as wide as that. So Monaco and Spa stay forever.
On a side note: I live in Abu Dhabi. I've always been a fan since way before they first raced here. However I would love if it stayed for a very long time because in the 13 years f1 raced here F1 has gained a lot of fans who had no idea what F1 is before racing started here back in 2009. It was a slow process but now practically the whole country wants to go to a race. I definitely agree it shouldn't be the last race of the season. That belongs to either Brazil or Suzuka.
Thank you for reading my opinion which will probably not matter to anyone 🙃
I personally love Abu Dhabi and think Monza is the greatest track ever raced on. I have also really liked the two races we’ve had at Jeddah and am really pumped for Australia this coming weekend.
You my man, have a brain
i love jeddah too one of my favorites
Agreed with Interlagos at least until 3025 and Spa until the end of times!
Barcelona shows who the good drivers and good cars are. Its amazing for those who like to nerd out about f1 and not just in it for the show
i think that canada is one of the best races as there is generally a good amount of action, i also think that the Nürburgring gp layout should be added to the calender again as its a good track
Where was Montreal! That is a superb track!
It is a good track yes, but every track can't fit in to the top 5. But solid top 10 for sure
Maybe not in the same order from 3rd to 6th, but I completely agree with the 6 favorite tracks.
So much, I believe that the F1 rulebook should contain a ruling over failing to extend their contracts: Unless there's a good reason (like COVID), whoever is responsible for letting those tracks drop from the calendar must be fired, maybe even adding a "tar and feather" clause.
I actually like the Jeddah track, all three races there have been absolute bangers
Monoco was the main reason I didn't get into F1 earlier. I find it insanely boring and unless the driver on pole chokes the race is decided before it starts. Every other track is more entertaining
I also like Zandvoort, the old layout of Hockenheim and Magny-Cours. THOSE are truly iconic along with Suzuka, Spa, Monza, Silverstone and Monaco.
and the Montreal track also shouldn't be missed, of course.
I'm for fing off Monaco! It just isn't racing, just because it is old doesn't mean it should stay.
Best quali though
How 75+% have said that Monaco needs to stay is beyond me. It has produced one boring race after the other since forever... i think the last pass for the lead was in the 90’s... prolly ‘96 when Hill overtook Alesi.
So F1 fans want plenty of action and overtakes, but they still want to keep a race where the last overtake was before the last total eclipse of the sun...
A lot of drama, lots of crashes, some crazy races, dangerous, iconic and the car doesn't matter too much there. But yeah overtaking has to be improved at Monaco. I love it and hope to see some overtakes this year...
@@justluke8730 I mean, you're not wrong...we've seen some crazy races in Monaco, but there's so many tracks which have much more potential for entertainment that Monaco, it should at the very least be rotated. Imagine Spa being dropped off the calendar (which isn't actually far fetched currently) or being rotated, in favor of keeping Monaco full time. I just find it absurd.
@@Felyxx yeah, sure if it comes to Spa or monaco i will agree with you. But in my opinion liberty would be crazy to drop either of those two. Hopefully they only kick out france and forget about sochi. And to be honest, i wouldn't be surprised to see 26ish (24 is current limit) races soon...
@@justluke8730 I think Domenicali said they wish to go towards 30 races by 2030
Monaco - Toss it.. the cars have outgrown the track
Suzuka - replace it with Fuji, it's the best track Japan has to offer
Now do " 6 F1 cars the will forevermore be remembered for the wrong reasons"
I must be one of the few who loves Catalunya. It has everything to test driver skill, isn’t that why they test there?
I agree completely with Spa. It should never EVER be removed. the PERFECT track
While it should never be removed, it should had a track change to improved safety. It is one of the track record a very poor safety like Magnussen incident at 2016, Norris incident at 2021 but most pain it is the fatal incident for Anthonie Hubert at F2 2019
I feel like Spa is pretty bad, no good races Post-2017 races, it needs weather to be good.
I like the Jeddah track if you get rid of the safety concerns… it was great with this year’s cars…
Eau rogue/Radion at Spa has been one of the most dangerous corners in f1 for decades but no one bats an eye because it's a great spectacle. Seb stopping to make sure lando wasnt dead last season should give you an idea of what the drivers think of this section..But Jeddah is TOO DANGEROUS. I think given a little more time they will continue to move the walls back at key points in the Jeddah circuit...The thing was only completed what 6 months ago? The 2 races f1 had there were both great to watch. Politics are a whole other beast that might doom this track however.
@@Scaredporkzz im saying like, if you completely disregarded the safety concerns its an amazing track with the new cars. but the safety makes it a place not suitable for these speeds
The entire Jeddah track is a safety concern...
@@Scaredporkzz I agree with you on Radillon, that corner is a major safety concern. If they evened it out a bit, it wouldn't upset the suspension as much. I still have K-mags crash in '16 and Anthoine Hubert's fatal crash in '19 very much on my mind. 3 drivers have died in that corne since '08.
Just waiting till they drop all this nice tracks for some "we race as money" tracks
That "we race as money" is pure gold.
Shanghai is a brilliant mix of corners and long enough straights that promote overtaking. Quite a lovely track
Catalunya is going to be a better race with the new changes, plus the tarmac of the track has also produced exciting strategies.
The atmosphere is dead in shanghai. Its always cloudy and grey. Or it is the smog. The tribune at turn 10 is always empty. Is it even a tribune?
@@TheRockyBalboa100 Also possible due to ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and China also involved force them to consider this decision of continue let Shanghai hosting F1 race
As a native of south Florida who lives fairly near the Hard Rock Stadium, it's depressing yet fair that Miami gets hated... hopefully next year it takes better advantage of its second chance (starting with improving with that Turn 14-16 chicane). Hopefully it's only replacing Russia and not well-worthy tracks such as Spa-Francorchamps!
Another “list” video worth doing, would be tracks if they ought to be, or if we’d like to see them in an older configuration (or combination of old and new) and which would score highly..
An extended Interlagos would be madness, everyone loves old Hockenheim (and killing it in the first place was a travesty), either the old Östereichring or the proposed “West-Schleife” at the Red Bull Ring would be amazing too.
I love the Jeddah circuit. It displays the speed of the cars well. The first drs zone does create problems and is pretty much useless. The racing it gives doesn't suck though.
True
Monaco Monaco Singapore Paul Ricard Mexico for the stadium section zanvoort can all do one
I think. Zanvoort is going to be a lot better with the new cars. I’m going to save my judgment until we see it.
F1 should come back to buddh international circuit it gave such fun races and it feels like Indiana f1 community is getting ignored and it's not like the track needs major repairs as it is used for concerts and also used as covid treatment facilities
I would happily see the Circuit de Catalunya replaced with Motorland Aragon. There should always be a French GP on the calendar and let's not forget that last year's race was one of the highlights of the season. The 2018 & 2019 races were so utterly tedious because of the gap between Mercedes and the rest of the field, not because of the track layout. However, I would prefer to F1 on the Le Mans Bugatti circuit.
Motorland is a great bike track but i dont think it would be good for f1
@@Pawer8 ALL the Spanish circuits are great for bikes. Circuit de Catalunya, for example, is a superb bike track but not conducive to good F1 racing. Motorland Aragon is definitely the best of the bunch. There are alternative configurations for car racing including an extended back straight with a hairpin at the end. It's basically another version of Tilke's Istanbul track and easily the most appropriate Spanish venue for F1.
Kyalami would be interesting to get back. Its a nice track and like spa mix slow and speed corners
The people that voted for Monaco being a good track obviously live their life watching paint dry.
Or they live their lives acknowledging that it's an iconic track and is probably one of the first things non-F1 fans think about when you mention the word "F1" to them. Not to mention that qualifying is spectacular. It's a true driver's circuit, and I'm happy that there's that variety on the calendar.
True. Monaco has to go.
@@matt_dobson0614 Iconic or not, a race shouldn't be decided by starting position and pit strategy...
@@matt_dobson0614 Who cares if it is iconic. People want to see racing, which it doesn't give us. The racing is terrible. The race is essentially won on Saturday.
Best Saturday on the Calendar
Spain: Jarama or Jerez
France: Le Mans or Magny-Cours
Japan: Yeah should move to Fuji
Britain: should move to brands hatch
I think keeping Monaco goes further than just being iconic. Having tracks at the extremes of set up like Monaco and Monza make the engineers jobs harder to design a competitive car at both levels. And shakes up the grid order from the norm. Cars that struggle at Monza can quite often be more competitive at Monaco and vice versa.
If every track was the same then the same team would be quicker everywhere.
Monaco is the worst track 6 times over - everyone seems to forget that the point of F1 racing is to race and you can't at Monaco.
Totally agree with this, yes there is the glamour and the tradition that surrounds it but in all honesty it’s an absolutely dreadful race circuit that never fails to produce terrible races. The other traditional tracks in the “keep” category are all fast circuits that more years than not deliver great racing.
Agreed, watch the qualifying and you have the results of the race.
Agreed, cars have simply become too big for this track.
@@skarpheinnsmundsson9741 Come on now, I clearly remember seeing an on track overtake one year, sometime within the last decade I think (or at least this century).
@@Thermalions exactly, makes for some thrilling action :)
maybe should look at it that way, perhaps this year there will be an overtake and have that be what makes the excitement?
I'm hoping for waiting new track across round the world hopefully not make it into worst
Regarding Barcelona- they have added this chicane to help overtaking and make races more interesting ^^ I don't think they will now remove it.
The problem with this track is that it is just not f1 track but MotoGP track... Hopefully with new cars this year, race won't be as boring as usual
Ja, removing the chicane will just make it more boring
They actually tightened the corner on the back straight and added the chicane for safety
I want Sepang back in F1 calendar
Yep, I'd go with most of that.
However until such time as the cars are half the size and aero but for simple front and rear wings is banned Monaco has no place in F1.
Oh, and cutting the number of races on the F1 calendar in half would be a good idea too. (As long as it's the rubbish ones that go.)
I don't want to lose Jeddah
Monaco still is the most thrilling qualification race on the calender though and has a very unique bibe and history.
Lets first see how the new cars do in monaco before restarting that debate.
When I saw this video, I started getting anxious about Interlagos.
Even though it is well loved, sometimes feels like some people are quite vocal about not liking it.
That said, sure I thought the track wouldn't show up in the hated tracks section, but I also had low expectations. I am glad people love it so much, even if things are looking a bit bleak (seeing the debate about removing a track from the calendar because of Las Vegas' addition and talks about Interlagos being a candidate for that sank my heart).
As a Brazilian, I absolutely loved the fact that y'all F1 fans love our circuit too. IMHO, Interlagos is in the pantheon of legendary F1 tracks, alongside Monza, Spa, Silverstone and Monaco. Old Hockenheim also deserves a place.
I think, Indianapolis, ( NASCAR type Hybrid circuits),
Germany GP,
Should come back...
And Circuits like, Monaco, Singapore, Australia ( Albert Park) ,
Tracks which don't have much Over taking opportunitues should be removed.....
i'd honestly swap shanghai and monaco's positions with eachother on this list. monaco is just not suited for F1 anymore and chang hai is just awsome. other than that i'd completly agree with this list.
So essentially all the tracks in the middle East lmao
Not Bahrain
If they drop Spa for the Miami race, I will be devastated
Circuit de SPA is shaped as a glue gun
Jeddah is incredible, it’s just controversial.. such a shame
Jeddah is staying in the calendar don’t worry.
Totally agree. I think Jeddah and Baku show exactly how amazing street tracks can be. Unlike Monaco which is just too tight for modern F1 cars.
if by controversial you mean potentially deadly then yes. but i suspect you mean another type of controversial.
@@noiserrr as long its potentially deadly.
Not like Imola and Spa which are indeed deadly. And no one give a damn how dangerous these tracks are.
@@muhmonsta what are you on about. this circuit has all the charecteristics to be much worse than both those circuits with the lack of run off everywhere and awful field of vision everywhere and much higher speed everywhere.
Notable lack of Tilke circuits in the top six
If the list was top 10 id argue Sepang or Turkey would have a chance
@@16omar and shanghai
@@16omar I'm partial to COTA as I'm a local. : )
Spa and Interlagos in iRacing with the F1 car and GT3 cars produces an incredible experience. They’re among the first tracks I learned and they’re completely worth every second.
My Top 3
1. Spa, Belgium
2. Interlagos, Brazil
3. Red Bull Ring, Austria
Monaco ofcourse lmao ( before saudiarabia ofcourse)
DTS fan
@@sarahwood8943 merc / Hamilton fan bozo
All the manufactures should have to produce a special "historic" style F1 car specifically for Monaco. Super tiny, super light, less power - practically a new Lotus 25
that would cost an inordinate amount of money for only one race though. It'd be fun but not feasible at all
I think Mugello should be on the calendar.... maybe do a video on top 10 tracks fans would like to see on the calendar? I feel like Kylami would take top spot on that one
It's fun watching it in 2023 and knowing the final chicane has been removed
If they remove Spa in the future, I am gonna Riot!
THEY DID IT. THEY REMOVED THE LAST CHICANE.
I feel like with these votes you should do one on Which tracks previously raced at in past season you would love to see return and tracks you wouldn't love to see return.
And to think, Spa might be gone from the F1 calendar in the near future
I can't agree with those who dislike Shanghai. That tightening Turn 1 is simply incredible!
F1 should leave china and the middle eastern countries. Idgaf about the racing. The human rights abuses are awful
I stand by you, bro !
I would get rid of Monaco right this second; no questions. I wouldn't even vote on it. It's a horrific circuit for modern racing.
If we're going to keep things because they're historic, maybe we should bring back the plague, or other terrible things. "Was good", is not "still good". "Thrilling qualifying", is not "great for the championship battle".
The sport should not make exceptions for Monaco; it should just get rid of it.
