Formula 1 chief Stefano Domenicali believes it is his responsibility to protect the sport's historic venues whilst also looking to the future.
Speaking to Sky Sports at the Australian Grand Prix, Domenicali discussed the possibilities of racing at new circuits whilst also expressing a desire to preserve traditional tracks. However, he did warn that history alone will not be enough to protect some of the more traditional tracks.
F1 currently races on five continents with the sport becoming increasingly popular around the world, prompting huge investors to suggest new race venues. The current 2023 race calendar includes 24 races – reduced to 23 this year after the cancellation of the Chinese Grand Prix – with the number of races each season currently capped at 25.
