The Formula One chief executive, Stefano Domenicali, has warned races in Europe will have no guarantee of their place on the sport’s calendar in future
chief executive, Stefano Domenicali, has warned that races in Europe will have no guarantee of their place on the sport’s calendar in future.
Domenicali insisted he believed the calendar should not rise above 24 meetings – the number that next season is expected to reach and the sport’s current cap as agreed with the teams. However with F1 enjoying huge popularity this is far outstripped by demand for races. “You can be assured these places will always be part of the discussions for the future,” he said. “But this is something that also on their side cannot be taken for granted, that if you don’t do anything you will always be there. Because that is not right.
This year there are 22 races but F1 is in discussion now to hold a race in South Africa next year alongside additional new meetings in Las Vegas and Qatar and a return for China, if Covid regulations allow. The French GP is believed to be already off the schedule but Spa and Monaco remain without contracts for 2023.
