Jenson Button has sent a warning to F1 bosses against favouring street circuit races over "old school" tracks.
Formula 1’s owners Liberty Media are desperate to capitalise on the increased popularity and visibility of the sport by taking grand prixs to new locations. Las Vegas will be hosting a race in 2023 on the iconic Strip but, with new tracks, other old favourites look set to drop off the calendar.
One increasingly real possibility is that Spa-Francorchamps, home of the Belgian Grand Prix, could be one of those casualties as reports continue to suggest it might well stop being a permanent fixture on the F1 calendar. The current contract between Spa and F1 is set to expire at the end of the 2022 campaign and there has been talk it could rotate with other races year by year.
