You can answer in one of two ways:

  • Serious - actual serious suggestions for tracks
  • Fantasy - not serious, but where you’d love to see F1 run

Here’s my answers…

Serious:

China x2, and Japan x2. As in, run two completely extra races at each track. The teams, cars, and gear will already be in both places. Simply add a few days between the races and run on the same courses having the second race at the same track count for an extra set of points as though it was at a different geographic location.

Fantasy:

Max already has time time booked at the the Nürburgring. How about they use that for an F1 event on the 2026 calendar. With the lack of power of the current 2026 spec cars it won’t be as dangerous as before. They could say they’re doing it to honor Niki Lauda. There have been F1 cars on the Nürburgring as recently as 2020 but not as an official race.

    Serious with a sprinkle of fantasy :)
    I’d say stay in Japan and go to Tsukuba and make it a special weekend where they try out reverse grid (fastest qualifier starts last etc).
    After that stay in the Asia region and race at Mandalika in Lombok, Indonesia!

    As has already been stated, it’s been confirmed there will be no replacements (at least for these races - we return to the middle east in the fall and those probably will have to get replaced to fulfill the broadcast quota).

    But if we are allowed to pipe dream the Sepang would be cinema, although realistic drop replacements are probably Imola, Portimao and Istanbul (although the latter might also be too close to the danger zone).

    Portimao, Sepang… it would also be nice to once again see F1 in India or Korea. Hell, lets do a Demon Hunters themed GP in Korea!

    Semi serious - go back to imola again this year. I get that it takes a while to plan stuff but at least it’s a reasonably quick turn around to get it started up again.
