What is the Ideal F1 Calendar

- What is your ideal Formula 1 calendar? Well after looking at so many peoples ideal calendars, I’ve taken it upon myself to create what I believe is the objectively ideal F1 calendar. Obviously some tracks will be missing such as Kyalami and Buddh Internation Circuit but I wanted to keep things semi realistic by keeping in mind commercial value and marketability. Is this calendar ever going to happen, well let's discuss and find out.

I think the alternating races is a good idea but on the other hand Monza and COTA should be permanent races just because they are great tracks and always have amazing races. For the other tracks, I would just have 2 extra rounds or something with Mugello and Imola for and extra Italian race and Indy and Vegas for another US race
That’s also a good idea
@@F-Duck1 you could also make netherlands and spa alternating races because they are completely different tracks so they require different racing styles and they are very close to each other
Cota is such an amazing track I can’t stress this enough even without it being the most watchable for me it always provides great racing. 10/10 track. You can even say it’s better than spa
personally, if formula 1 also had ways of pouring money into a certain circuit, i would love to see an alternating round between circuit gilles villeneuve, and circuit mont-tremblant or canadian tire motorsports park (mosport). mont-tremblant formally hosted formula 1 racing back in the 1960s-1970s and i would love to see them come back, however the track currently does not have an fia grade. but with some modifications (especially the turn 1 chicane on the gp layout), it could work.
another track that could work as well with some modifications is mosport, it also formally hosted formula one in the 60s and 70s. its the most famous track in the country, and currently holds an fia grade 2 licence. but like i said, some modifications can make this track fia grade 1 viable and could host the canadian grand prix.
both of these tracks are extremely fast and would challenge the drivers of formula one cars just off the g-forces alone.
That’s pretty good too. I love how most countries have so many good options, it keeps things fresh
I'd love to see f1 at mosport and mont tremblant, but the amount of modifications that would need to be done to both would completely destroy them both. Mosport would just be chicane after chicane after chicane
thought I'd do something similar, but take in weeks available into account. looking at it we have 38 weeks between the first week starting in March and week begining in November, I feel like this is a fair max time frame since it gives the teams about 3 months of winter for building new cars and testing them. also wanted to balance quality of track with style of track, so that one style of car isn't domminant at all tracks. Home races of prominant F1 Drivers are prioritiesed for the stories they give. Baku does not get a race because it's overrated and sportswashing by a genocidal government.
Round 1, Albert Park, Australia (week 1) : classic oppener of a track
Round 2, Sepang, Malaysia (week 2) : Unpredictable weather on a modern classic track
Round 3, Sakhir, Bahrain (week 4) : the desert has hosted many iconic battles and it'sthe original f1 track in the middle east
Round 4, Istamble Park, Turkie (week 6) : F1 heads to the med for April, this track is truely the jewel in the crown of tilke's f1 adventures
Round 5, Imola, San Marinio (week 8) : F1's Mediteranian tour continues in the middle of Italy, the track offers a fast technical layout loved by drivers
Round 6, Catalonia, Spain (week 10) : the begining of may takes us to the Iberian peninsula for the home race of Alonso and Sianz. I do not like this track and never really have.
Round 7, MONACO (week 12) : MONACO
Round 8, Red Bull Ring, Austria (week 14) : short little tracks get to hide together
Round 9, Nurburgring, Germany (week 15) : we've not had enough fast curves on technical tracks on this calander
Round 10, Montreal, Canada (week 18) : unfortunately canada is cold
Round 11, Indianapolis, USA (week 20) : put the 2 North american Races together for economy reasons. and the rest of the US races are too hot to go here
Round 12, Silverstone, UK (week 24) : The Summer is Almost done, so lets finish the European leg with the only round in August in the original F1 World Championship track
Round 13, Zandvoort, Netherlands (week 26) : Max's home track and the round with the largest banking in f1
Round 14, Spa, Belgium (week 27) : classic track, no comment
Round 15, Monza, Italy (week 29) : it's the temple of speed
Round 16, Suzuka, Japan (week 32) : another high counering speed track, something f1 deerly lacks
Round 17, Cota, Americas (week 34) : some Commenters are younger than the last time an F1 calander was 17 races long, this disturbs me mildly
Round 18, Mexico City, Mexico (week 36) : this track has the highest elevation of any f1 track, giving the teams a unique challenge not seen anywhere else, this track needs to be on the calander for this and this alone
Round 19, Interlargos, Brazil (week 38) : Classic track, brilliant atmosphere, when's the next Brazilian getting to f1?
Let’s hope bortoleto gets into f1 since he is class, and also great calendar!

Yessir 💯
My perfect F1 calendar (+ my perfect F1 schedule as well)
Schedule
Friday: 90 minute practice session
Saturday: 90 minute combined session featuring a 30 minute practice session and 2 30 minute qualifying sessions for a total of 60 minutes
Sunday: Just your average race
Calendar:
Pre-season Testing: Circuit Paul Ricard
R1: Melbourne (I mean, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?)
R2: Sepang (Drivers - and fans - both love this track, as it can throw up some incredible racing when water is added to the mix.)
R3: Fuji (I was split between this and Suzuka, as both provide excellent racing, but the racing is a little bit better when it rains.)
R4: Kuwait (The Middle East doesn't have much aside from shit tracks (Abu Dhabi.jpg), shit street circuits (Jeddah.jpg) and shit MotoGP circuits turned F1 tracks (LUSAIL.png). This and Bahrain are good.)
R5: Baku (Sector 1 is shit, sector 2 has the infamous castle section, and sector 3 is long. But it's still good despite all of that.)
R6: Istanbul (Turn 8. Turn 8 is the only reason why it should be back.)
(2 week break in May)
R7: Monaco (It's been around since forever ago, so obviously it's going to be a mainstay in F1.)
R8: Monza (Another icon of Formula 1, this circuit held the honor of ending the very first F1 season, so you know it's staying.)
R9: Red Bull Ring (Simple, yet good. That's the best way to describe this track.)
R10: Hungaroring (Hungary in F1 has been around since 1986, and this track was the first in the country.)
R11: Magny Cours (Even better, in my opinion, than the Circuit Paul Ricard, and it's not hard to see why.)
R12: Circuito Ricardo Tormo (Tbh I forgot this circuit existed, buuuuut yeah.)
R13: Spa (Again, it's a no-brainer that Spa should be included in the calendar.)
R14:Silverstone (The last of the OG circuits, this one started the F1 World Championship in its entirety.)
R15: Algarve (Estoril is no longer the Estoril you all grew up with, so Algarve is being put in here.)
R16: Hockenheimring (The Nürburgring was also considered, but I chose the Hockenheimring for the simple fact that it's good. This also concludes the European leg of the world calendar.)
(4 week break in September and October)
R17: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (It's fun, it's unpredictable, and did I mention the fact that it has the Wall of Champions chicane?)
R18: COTA (Sorry NOT sorry, Miami and Las Vegas. You two don't compare to COTA, and for good reason.)
R19: Mexico (Imagine, if only for a brief moment, that this was the penultimate round in anything. You'd want to put everything on the line for those extra points, too.)
R20: Interlagos (Just like it's a no-brainer to open any F1 season with Melbourne, it is also a no-brainer to close out any F1 season with Interlagos.)
Pretty good season calendar
Where is the French gp
I wanted to put France but I decided against because i thought there were better options racing wise, but if the calendar was 21 races long, France would 100% be on it
don't touch Monza!
I know, it’s too legendary too touch
HOCKENHEIM INSTEAD OF NÜRBURGRING???
ARE YOU MAADDD???
I put both of them, they’ll both get their spotlight
Silverstone round 6 would be in the British Autumn. No one wants to be in British autumn
Ahhh, I didn’t know that, my bad, I really suck at geography…
investing in this channel at 49 subs ( come back to comment when you blow up )
Thank you ! Let’s see if that happens :)
I would definitely add Singapore, make Monza, Cota and Hockenheim permanent but keep the alternating ideas between other races (Nurnburgring and Imola for example) for the rest id much prefer this calendar!
Yeah in hindsight I probably should’ve made at least Monza permanent but otherwise great points
My Calendar
1. Melbourne, Australia
2. Sepang, Malaysia
3. Marina Bay, Singapore
4. Shanghai, China
5. Suzuka, Japan
6. Istanbul, Turkey
7. Hungaroring, Hungary
8. Red Bull Ring, Austria
9. Monza, Italy
10. Monaco
11. Barcelona, Spain
12. Magny Cours, France
13. Hockenheimring, Germany
14. Spa Francorchamps, Belgium
15. Zandvoort, Netherlands
16. Silverstone, Great Britain
17. Montreal, Canada
18. COTA, U.S.A
19. Mexico City, Mexico
20. Interlagos, Brazil
(In fact while I’m at it, Abu Dhabi, nothing personal, but Interlagos should always play host to the final round of the year. It’s that level of race track)
Pretty good calendar!
I'd keep the current 2025 calendar, but replace Miami with an alternating Hockenheim/Nurburgring, Qatar with Istanbul Pak, and Las Vegas with the Dubai Autodrome. Add the French GP back, but at Magny-Cours again. Add Fuji.
@@codexjr3228 So, which your dream 2025 calendar overall?
@@RadityaPramanaPutra2001 I don't like the idea of alternating because its hard to retain interest if there's too much alternating. Hockheim/Nurburgring is fine. Overall the current official calendar isn't so bad except for the omission of some great tracks as I said
@@codexjr3228 Yeah, Nürburgring/Hockenheimring is the very best option for the German Grand Prix. 🇩🇪
I feel like COTA and Monza should be permanent. I also feel like we should bring back the San Marino GP thing because I love Imola, even if currently isn’t made for F1. I would also put Hungary in it.
Good point
I am from Germany and wouldn't love nothing more than alternating Hockenheim and Nürburgring, but I think instead of alternating for one country we could implement something that existed before: the (continent) GP. The European GP would alternate between different tracks on the European continent, so we could watch races in more different countries. Do that with every continent and e voila - you have a nice mix of tracks! ;D
Also, I would appreciate an even more strict reduction of travel expenses. Picking the calendar by starting in Melbourne and from there on the shortest route from GP to GP until we arrive in Sao Paulo.
That’s a really good point, I didn’t even consider bringing back the European Grand Prix but that’s a good idea.
Well, alternating Nürburgring and Hockenheimring is my dream German Grand Prix, and Nürburgring GP-Strecke is one of my favorite circuit. 🇩🇪 Unfortunately, my dream calendar is one Grand Prix per country, so I disagree about the European Grand Prix.
The European GP returning would be neat, but I also believe Germany should have its own race on the calendar rather than just be there for the alternating European GP.
It's difficult to create an ideal calendar. Personally i'd include 18 races, since it's too much for teams and drivers as it is right now.
However there are so many great tracks that i've decided to choose 20 of them (some of which won't come back for sure, but nevermind).
*1. 🇧🇭 Bahrain* (Sakhir)
*2. 🇿🇦 South Africa* (Kyalami)
*3. 🇸🇲 San Marino* (Imola)
*4. 🇵🇹 Portugal* (Portimao / Estoril)
*5. 🇪🇦 Spain* (Montmelo / Jerez)
*6. 🇲🇨 Monaco* (Montecarlo)
*7. 🇨🇵 France* (Magny-Cours / Le Castellet (with gravel and grass) / Digione)
*8. 🇨🇦 Canada* (Montréal)
*9. 🇺🇲 USA* (Indianapolis / Austin)
*10. 🇦🇹 Austria* (Spielberg)
*11. 🇬🇧 Great Britain* (Silverstone / Donington / Brands Hatch)
*12. 🇩🇪 Germany* (Hockenheim)
*13. 🇭🇺 Hungary* (Budapest)
*14. 🇧🇪 Belgium* (Spa-Francorchamps / Zolder)
*15. 🇮🇹 Italy* (Monza)
*16. 🇸🇬 Singapore* (Marina Bay)
*17. 🇲🇾 Malaysia* (Sepang)
*18. 🇦🇺 Australia* (Melbourne / Adelaide)
*19. 🇯🇵 Japan* (Suzuka / Fuji)
*20. 🇧🇷 Brazil* (Sao Paulo)
So, since Formula 1 is apparently getting into that green eco sustainability thing, i tried to follow that path, even tho i mainly focused on the historic part.
My intent is to keep the historic GPs permanently, while the most recent ones can be replaced each year with others of different countries (for example Spielberg, Buenos Aires, Yeongam or Baku), in order to not fill too much the calendar.
I also read in the comments a beautiful idea about changing the European GP location each year, that'd be a really good way to alternate different circuits.
That’s a pretty good calendar!
@@F-Duck1Actually i copied and pasted this from and old calendar i wrote, now I'd replace Turkey with Austria.
There'd be 20 races as i said, but eventually it can be good 18 as well, by removing a few that i consider less important (or replacing them with others, such as istanbul, Mexico, Zandvoort or the others i mentioned in the og comment).
As someone on the east coast I would love to see F1 race at VIR even though it isn't grade 1. The track layout flows quite well with long straights and tight corners. Simply the best way to describe it is the east coast's version of spa.
Yeah there are so many awesome tracks that aren’t grade 1 unfortunately. Lots of missed opportunities for f1
Bro!!! You can’t alternate Monza. That needs to be on the calendar every year!
Maybe, European Grand Prix returns and that’s mugello instead? As well as a few other tracks that alternate
Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez used to be a proper race track (or the Mexican Monza) when it had the smoother and faster esses and the old Peraltada curve where Mansell got past Berger in the 1990 race
Yeah, modern f1 kinda ruined the track but maybe one day a proper circuit is built for mexico
My Calendar
1. Australia, Melbourne
2. Malaysia, Sepang
3. China, Shanghai
4. Japan, Suzuka
5. Singapore, Marina Bay
6. Saudi Arabia, Jeddah
(May Break)
7. Azerbaijan, Baku
8. Austria, Spielberg
9. Germany, Hockenheim/Nürburg
10. Netherlands, Zandvoort
11. Belgium, Spa Francochamps
12. Great Britain, Silverstone
(July Break)
13. France, Le Castellet
14. Monaco, Monaco
15. Spain, Barcelona
16. Italy, Monza/Mugello
(Sep/Oct Break)
17. Canada, Montreal
18. USA, Austin/Indy
19. Mexico, Mexico City
20. Brazil, Interlagos
It was really hard to place the tracks and find a good order so in some cases nuances like Singapore had to happen.
Pretty good calendar!
@@F-Duck1
Only Problem u need spikes on the tyres if want to race in winter at canada
My idea calendar:
1. Melbourne, Australia
2. Kyalami, South Africa
3. Sakhir, Bahrain
4. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
5. Sepang, Malaysia
6. Shanghai, China
7. Suzuka, Japan
8. Marina Bay, Singapore
9. Barcelona, Spain
10. Spielberg, Austria
11. Hockenheim/Nurburgring
12. Silverstone, UK
13. Hungaroring, Hungary
14. Spa Francorchamps, Belgium
15. Zandvoort, Holland
16. Monza, Italy
17. Mugello/ Imola, Italy (alternating&changes to imola)
18. Montreal, Canada
19. COTA, USA
20. Indianapolis/Las Vegas, USA (alternating)
21. Interlagos, Brazil
This would obviously also require changes to Kyalami but it should be worth it given it’s supposed to be a world championship but without it would only go on 5/6 available continents.
Yeah, one could only hope that the changes kyalami needs, can be done soon so we can finally see it on the calendar again. Pretty good calendar tho!
I would personally add Road America or Watkins Glen instead of Vegas. The IndyCar and IMSA races never disappoint there. I know they're both Grade 2 but a man can hope.
Oh yeah for sure, Vegas doesn’t compare to Road America, Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca but I gotta stick with grade 1’s unfortunately
With the amount of money they're spending on these street circuits, they might as well update Watkins or Road America to be Grade 1
I had a similar idea just a lot of rotating with dates.
March 4th The Australian Grand Prix, Melbourne
March 11th Malaysian Grand Prix, Kuala Lumpur/ Singaporean Grand Prix, Singapore
March 25th Japanese Grand Prix, Suzuka / Fuji
April 1st Chinese Grand Prix, Shanghai / Korean Grand Prix, Seoul
April 15th Indian Grand Prix, Noida
April 29th African Grand Prix, Marakesh
May 13th Bahrain Grand Prix, Sakhair / Saudi Arabian, Jeddah / UAE, Abu-Dhabi
May 20th Turkish Grand Prix, Istanbul / Azerbaijan, Baku
May 27th Monaco Grand Prix, Monte Carlo
June 10th English Grand Prix, Donington / London
June 17th Belgian Grand Prix, Spa
June 1st German Grand Prix, Hockenheim / Nürbürgring
July 8th Austrian Grand Prix, Spielberg / Hungarian Grand Prix, Budapest
July 22nd Italian Grand Prix, Monza
July 29th Spanish Grand Prix, Barcelona / Portuguese Grand Prix, Portimao
August 26th British Grand Prix, Silverstone
September 2nd Dutch Grand Prix, Zandvoort /
September 16th French Grand Prix, Le Mans / Paul Ricard
September 23rd Bolognese Grand Prix, Imola / Toscan Grand Prix, Mugello
October 7th Canadian Grand Prix, Montreal
October 21st Texan Grand Prix, Austin
October 28th Las Vegas Grand Prix, Paradise / Mexican Grand Prix, Mexico city
November 11th Brazilian Grand Prix, Sao Paulo
That’s a pretty good list, I like all the rotations since all are great tracks and it keeps things fresh
1. Miami (heavily modified track with faster corners (some much faster) and the elimination of the chicane)
2. Abu Dhabi
3. Bahrain/Qatar
4. South Africa (Kyalami)
5. Singapore
6. Japan
7. Korea (Inje Speedium)
8. Las Vegas (with faster 4th gear Turn 12)
9. Spain (Aragon)/Portugal (Portimao)
10. Monaco
11. Turkey/Hungary
12. Holland
13. Austria
14. Canada
15. Britain
4-week break
16. Belgium
17. Germany (Hockenheim/Nurburgring)
18. France (new Le Mans 5.4 mile track)
19. Italy
20. Azerbaijan
21. Indianapolis (new 5 mile track that utilizes all of the oval)
22. Brazil
23. Mexico
24. USA (COTA, with faster and slightly banked final corner)
25. Australia
That’s a pretty good list with awesome tracks
@@F-Duck1 I wanted to add the Argentine Grand Prix on a modified version of old No.15 configuration of the Buenos Aires Autodrome, last used in 1981, and that circuit in a different variation was last used in 1998. The No. 15 variant was possibly the best F1 circuit for passing ever made- it was kind of 2 circuits in one. I would have added Argentina between Brazil and Mexico. Argentina has produced IMO the greatest F1 driver ever- Juan Manuel Fangio, a 5-time champion from the 1950s who won nearly half the championship races he entered, and also Carlos Reutemann, who drove in the 70s and the early 80s and won 12 races.
I would swap the Miami Gardens with Miami Homestead track
Istanbul park is in Asia and much closer to the Saudi Arabian tracks than the tracks around it on the calendar
Edit: same for Baku
Yeah true, maybe they should’ve been closer
i like the new sprint format, less practice sessions and seperate qualis for the sprint/race. hated the last years format ngl, but this is great from time to time in my opinion
True, but I just think it’s too much clutter right now
This is my ideal F1 Calendar
R0. 21 - 23 of February - Preseason Testing - Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
R1. 14 - 16 of March - Australian Grand Prix - Albert Park Circuit
R2. 28 - 30 of March - Malaysian Grand Prix - Sepang International Circuit
R3. 4 - 6 of April - Japanese Grand Prix - Suzuka International Racing Course
R4. 18 - 20 of April - China/Saudi Arabia Grand Prix - SIC/JCC
R5. 2 - 4 of May - Bahrain Grand Prix - Bahrain International Circuit
R6. 16 - 18 of May - Imola/Tuscan Grand Prix - Imola Circuit/Mugello Circuit
R7. 23 - 25 of May - Monaco Grand Prix - Circuit de Monaco
R8. 6 - 8 of June - Canadian Grand Prix - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

R22. 7 - 9 of November - Mexican Grand Prix - AHR
R23. 21 - 23 of November - Brazilian Grand Prix - Interlagos
I really wanted to put Kyalami but France to me, has to be in the season, it’s a classic.
That’s a pretty great list!
I think Indianapolis and COTA should co-exist if the FIA could bring Indy back. It would make sense for America to still have two races and they have two very good circuits. We could call COTA the Texan Grand Prix and no one would have any issues
True, Indianapolis is too historic to not have it every year, good point
my calendar:
1. Albert Park
2. Balaton park circuit
3. Kyalami
4. Silverstone
5. Hockenheimring
6. Montreal
7. Suzuka
8. Jeddah
9. Istambul
10. Bahrain
11. Monaco
12. COTA
13. Spa
14. Madrid
15. Magny Cours
16. Old Singapoure
17. Monza
18. Red Bull ring
19. Zandvoort
20. Watkins Glen
21. Interlagos
Pretty good list, I like the new placements for some of the tracks
Mine would be
1) Australia (Melbourne)
2) Malaysia (Sepang)/Singapore (Marina Bay)
3) Japan (Suzuka, maybe Fuji and Motegi road course)
4) UAE (Yas Marina/Dubai)
5) Bahrain (Sakhir)
6) Turkey (Istanbulpark)
7) Austria (RB Ring)
8) Germany (Hockenheim/Nurburgring/Lausitzring)
9) Italy (Monza)
10) Monaco (Monaco)
11) Spain (Barcelona/ Valencia Ricardo Torno, maybe Jarama)
12) Belgium (Spa)
13) Northern Europe (Zandvoort/ a street circuit in a nordic country i.e. the former Helsinki Thunder)
14) UK (Silverstone)
16) Canada (Montreal)
17) USA (Austin/Indy Oval/Barber/ maybe Laguna seca and Sonoma)
18) Mexico (Mexico city)
19) Brazil (Interlagos)
20) S. Africa (Kyalami)
That’s a really good calendar!
My version would be
1. South Africa - Kyalami
2. Australia - Melbourne
3. Bahrain - Sakhir
4. Turkey - Istanbul Park
5. Emilia-Romagna - Imola
6. Spain - Barcelona
7. Monaco - Monte Carlo
8. France - Magny-Cours
9. Germany - Hockenheimring
10. Canada - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
11. USA - Indianapolis
12. Great Britain - Silverstone
13. Netherlands - Zandvoort
14. Belgium - Spa-Francorchamps
15. Europe - Nürburgring
16. Austria - Red Bull Ring
17. Hungary - Hungaroring
18. Italy - Monza
19. Singapore - Marina Bay
20. Malaysia - Sepang
21. Japan - Suzuka
22. China - Shanghai
23. USA - Austin
24. Brazil - Sao Paulo
Pretty good list! I like how you brought the European Grand Prix back
You know the FIA wants money when it's considering a new Midwest US circuit in Chicago, which makes no sense since Indy is also in the Midwest, and Bangkok... Thailand is great but you're already surrounded by so many bangers lmao. Also for the US simply adding Indy and rotating it between it and Miami sounds more realistic, because with that there would be a US circuit for each major area of the US. Indy/Miami in the east coast, COTA in the center, and Vegas in the west coast. This makes it way more accessible and thus more inviting for new fans and profitable as you now have a foothold on the 3 main areas to make money for the US. Also for Miami, reminder... It's a "street circuit" when in reality it's just filling space around the depressing parking lot and being a parking lot means it could easily be tweaked for something better, it's more a cross your fingers moment and more fantasy but it alternating with Indy also means those changes can be made and it can be reworked in the off-season, and if it's delayed or taking longer wow you just have Indy for a few years although 3 US Circuits constantly locked in almost guarantees a triple header. Although if FIA realized their staff are people and not puppets we could do a double and make a Vegas finale since Vegas being in Pacific Time is 2 hours away from COTA which is in Central Time, and 3 hours away from both Indy and Miami in Eastern Time.
But yeah FIA is looking to make more money in the Americas and with the US considering that Chicago circuit that really shouldn't happen, so while a triple rotating is much more fantasy even when a better thing overall, a COTA-Vegas permanence with a rotation between just-for-the-camera Miami and action-packed Indy is much more realistic and doable from a greedy perspective
That’s a really good point. At this point I feel like the fia would get more money just listening to the fans regarding the US but when does the fia ever listen to the fans. Great points tho
your suggestion is quite good but not perfect. let me complete it: additionally cut Saudi Arabia, Las Vegas, Jerez and Monaco, substitute Mexico with Singapur and we´re in business! 17 races is enough. oh and definitely no sprint races.
That’s some good ideas!
Congratulations on a well presented video. The highlight for me was that you included Istanbul Park. I understand your frustration at having to watch most races at some stupidly early hour, but as an American you have the luxury of it being a Sunday. As an Australian, it is horrible that most races are on a Monday morning, which makes going to work & not falling asleep very difficult. I'm glad you omitted Singapore.
Oh wow, I did not know that in Australia the races are on Monday mornings, that seems like hell
Great Video but you seem to confuse the FIA with FOM (Formula One Management) a bit. The FIA definitely has its part in the push for street circuits, but it's FOM that's doing most of it.
I think if I even dare mention them my channel would be at risk so no chances lol
My ideal calendar would be 21 races and would be
Bahrain - sakhir
Australia - Albert park
Neverlands - zandvort
San marino - imola
Portugal - portimao
Spain - catalunya
Monaco - Monaco
Austria - red bull ring
Azerbaijan - baku
Uk - Silverstone
Germany - hockenheim
Hungary - hungaroring
Belgium - spa
Italy - monza
Turkey - Istanbul
Japan - suzuka
Malaysia - sepang
Canada - montreal
Usa - cota
Mexico - Mexico city
Brazil - interlagos
Pretty good list!
I was expecting kyalami to be on the calendar to... you know havea WORLD championship
I wanted Kyalami but it’s not a grade 1 circuit and I limited myself to only using grade 1 circuits. But of course it has to be on it in the future
I mean your calendar is pretty good but the European part the order of some tracks really makes me tweak and,bro you can't alternate Monza,its literally Monza,to me it would have been better to just add both of monza and Mugello
Yeah that’s why looking back, I’m really angry with myself for not including the European Grand Prix, I have no clue why that thought didn’t cross my mind. If I did include that, monza would be 100% permanent
iwill say its good but its missing india,s.korea and s.africa but it is great and muggelo should be not with monza but separatly alsocould have race in czechia and slovakia alternating Brno and Slovakiaring good video
I couldn’t find a place to include South Korea, India, and especially South Africa even tho I really wanted to, but if the calendar was to be expanded by a couple races, for sure they’d be first up to be included
Dude you need to take into account the weather, having Silverstone too early is just stupid cuz it's too cold
Ah, I didn’t know the uk weather would still be too cold. I was pretty conflicted having it that early so maybe weather should’ve been a bigger factor. Thanks for letting me know!
@@F-Duck1being honest you would be looking at Mid May for that race in that position, that is absolutely fine.
I think Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a great race track...when NASCAR raced there. I feel the track was screwed up when F1 came back.
Yeah for sure, we can only hope one day Mexico gets a proper track
@@F-Duck1 The iconic esses between turns 7 and 13 were screwed up when they re did the track. If the stadium section also sucks for racing, then they should race around the Peraltada again.
1. Melbourne
2. Sepang
3. Interlagos
4. Imola
5. Mugello
6. Catalunya
7. Monaco
8. Montreal
9. Magny Cours
10. Silverstone
11. Hockenheimring
12. Red Bull Ring
13. Hungaroring
14. Spa
15. Monza
16. Nurburgring
17. Indianapolis
18. COTA
19. Suzuka
Pretty good list, I really wanted to put magny cours but I couldn’t find how to fit it in
@@F-Duck1 I usually just have Magny Cours being the race before Silverstone
Hungarian is such a nice track, Belgium has to be the first track after the summer break. Netherlands is one of the worst tracks in my life and bring back the old layout of Australia. Is Watkins Glen also available?
I believe Watkins glen is grade 2 unfortunately, Hungary is a hit or miss from me, and nah man zandvoort to me is so underrated.
@@F-Duck1 The old layout, build for GT cars was more amusing. Anyway Mugello is in your video, that's directly a like
I’ve yet to here why Miami is a bad GP other than the fact that celebrity’s go
The racing isn’t the best since the track prioritizes speed and flow through corners which sounds like a good thing but in this era of cars and their dirty air, the track fails at what it strives to do. If the dirty air problem gets fixed, I believe the racing will significantly improve but for now it’s got to go.
I love Jeddah but it think it's better to put it towards the end of the season
True, there’s more stakes involved and it could potentially be like 2021, especially in title fight years

08/07/2024 15:51 Or 03:51 PM At My Local Time.
30 races!! I feel like that’s a little too much but I get it since all the tracks you selected are fantastic and it’s honestly so hard having to narrow it down
@@F-Duck1 Yeah, that's why I say "two sets of crew". One crew for 15 races, one another crew for another 15 races.
Ohhhh my bad
@@F-Duck1 It's okay, no problem. 😉
i lov u
Love you too 🫶
good video i would put 22 races because in my opinion that was perfect
Thank you!
Honestly, if F1 wanted to come back to Indy, Roger would most definitely allow that, he's already bringing back a lot of the older series that left IMS
True that but at the same time he has a bit of a complicated relationship with f1 since it’s like one of the only things Penske has yet to be truly successful in but I have no doubt he would probably want f1
Why does everything one hate sprints?
They mainly feel like a waste of time and a waste of resources for the teams
@@F-Duck1 oh alr
Monaco is sooooo over rated.
It’s a staple tho
bg music 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Yessir 🐐
good ducking video! keep it up lil duck, and have a great day!
Thank you! I was actually at the laguna seca Indycar race today and it was awesome
Great video duck man!
Thank you!
i fw this
Thanks!
bro sprint races are goated
Ehh, to me they’re hit or miss, when they hit they’re awesome but when they miss it’s just a waste of time for everyone involved
First time I hear someone say that.
Finally, someone else besides me likes sprint races
I was a bit disappointed that Miami wasn’t included in the ideal calendar but aside from that this would definitely be amazing if adapted
I think the Miami circuit needs some revision and that’s just the circuit too, Miami seems like a no brainer but the racing isn’t quite the best there
actually quite good calendar, except from silverstone - baku
i would reverse that section to better help the planet
(btw, check out kuwait's motor town, it is a VERY good race track)
I REALLY wanted to put Kuwait on here but I had to keep things semi realistic and think about a potential market and I don’t really see one. Maybe I’ll make a video discussing my dream calendar where I have no limitations on it later
“Australia is a small continent” 2:45
Wait did I really say that? I put in my script that it was huge continent…whoops
