Formula 1 released its 2023 schedule today and if you were a fan of the French Grand Prix, you won’t be happy that the Las Vegas Grand Prix and Chinese Grand Prix took it’s spot in the 24-race schedule.
Imola remains as well as Belgium but I do find the Chinese Grand Prix inclusion an interesting one. China has a strict lockdown policy and its actions of late have been met with concern from the global community so it could be a race that is contingent on other factors. Maybe F1 needs to have races as reserve races like teams have reserve drivers in case a race is canceled.

I’m not sure if I’d pick Paul Ricard over Miami… decisions, decisions. ~X8
I’d agree. However let’s give Mimi a chance. Glad see spa still there. Little known fact about sap.. sometimes it can be raining on one part of the track but completely…… (Sorry couldn’t help it.)
