The only thing that still bugs me is one country having more than one race.- @dancrodrigues Yup, USA got three now, just because they suddenly decided that they like F1 for a bit!!
Not a fan of that personally. Don't need Miami and don't need Vegas, COTA is fine.
But each to their own.@AnonymousWell, Indy is making some movement to race abroad, there's conversations with Mexico, Brazil and Argentina for nest year and they already race in Canada. There's a Indy driver (which name I'll not remember now) that said that if they are racing in our ground we should race in theirs. This F1 invasion didn't go unnoticed. Nascar even sent a prototype car to this year's 24h of Le Mans.
About Miami and Vegas I guess is the same logic as Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Saudi, it's money. And it's not wrong, it's a business afterall.
