The Belgian Grand Prix is in danger of being removed from the Formula 1 calendar and Lando Norris is not happy. The sport will return from its summer break at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps this weekend, but the track's contract is up this year and so far a new deal has yet to be agreed.
Therefore, there is a possibility F1 may not return to Belgium in 2023, which has upset the 24-year-old McLaren driver. He expressed his sadness with the possibility the iconic Spa circuit may no longer be part of the sport’s calendar come next year and lamented the impact the big bucks is having on the sport.
“I’ll be sad,” he said. “I guess a lot of things are just about money nowadays, which is the issue. It’s a business. It’s a historic race for Formula 1. It’s the same as Monaco, from what I know they don’t even pay and it’s on the calendar. Same with like Monza and stuff. I feel it should always be on for as long as Formula 1 is around.”
