China and Portugal
Why aren't China and Portugal included in the actual game after being advertised in the features trailer? You can see them both here on this video https://youtu.be/YgOi41qmlc4?t=94

Both China and Portugal aren't on the calendar this year. That's why they are not in the game.
The build shown on the video was an early build (probably the calendar wasn't even announced). The game is constantly evolving to look more like real life F1 Championship.
You can also see that the cars are completely different now.
China wasn't on the calendar either last year and was still in the game. That excuse doesn't really stick. Pretty sure you guys didn't make the Portimão track just for one game.

That's exactly what happened with Vietnam though.
@Meza994 covered my guess: Portimao and Shanghai will be post launch DLC, free or paid for.
Edit: China was in the last game because of Braking Point.
- Making a new track (Portimão) and releasing it in October 2021, to just throw it away now, would be stupid.

As above there is a good bet Portimao will be DLC for F1 22 anyway.
