I forgot about the financial constraints. They need someone with some money, especially since they're losing Martini. Unless that's changed as well. Williams could be real trouble.

I need to go find a pillow to cry in. What’s with all the street circuits? F1 just seems to be turning into fast and furious. While I like the series going to newer countries, I just hate that street circuits dilute the joy of watching a race. Think they’re driving me to IndyCar

Yeah, a couple street circuits would be fine, but this is getting a bit silly.
Vietnamese parade laps. Great.

I think this video is a bit more realistic for now - https://www.formula1.com/en/video/20..._in_Hanoi.html
It's going to take a mountain of money to get it anywhere near what the video you posted shows

Not a big fan of this at all. Basically we're getting another street circuit but we might potentially lose Silverstone? Is anyone else tired of street circuits? I've already stopped watching Monaco after quali and the Baku layout just doesn't do it for me.

Based on how Leclerc's been handling the Sauber I'd say Vettel should be a bit worried next year.

He should really just stick to driving and watch what he says about countries. Personally, I think it's probably because its the one race he has never won.

I'm of the opinion that motorsport, just like any other sport has its fans in every country and regardless of where the country stands in terms of a development scale should have no impact on whether an event happens there or not. Why not say the same about Brazil or speak out political persecution in Bahrain. Jim Clark was a farmer from Scotland and Jackie Stewart was born at a time when dyslexia was not recognized and considered developmentally challenged. Should they have just stuck to tending sheep and repairing cars?
