@dancrodriguesI don't understand why they don't do Canada after Miami, makes more sense surely.

There's a lot of stuff going on for a GP to happen: there's contracts, weather, preparation of the track (Canada isn't a permanet track)... that's why I think they slowly change the calendar. It takes time.
Anyway, I believe the 24 calendar to be more sensible then 23's.
Yep, as @dancrodrigues said. They expressly mention those general constraints in the page:
By moving Japan to April, Azerbaijan to September and Qatar back-to-back with Abu Dhabi, this calendar creates a better flow of races in certain regions, and this work will continue while being realistic to the fact that as a world championship, with climatic and contractual constraints, there will always be travel required that cannot be completely regionalised.
- @dancrodrigues Yeh sure but logistically to go from monaco to canada and then back to spain makes no sense haha.
Thats the whole reason mexico always follows the texas race i thought.
Anyway just thinking aloud.- @matty0blobber Its an improvement from this year at least.. Sure it could be way better like making Australia-Japan-China a triple header and not having a 2 week break so all teams fly back to europe in the meantime but its better 🙂
