No, I’m not planning to attend a race this year. Maybe next year in possibly either Bahrain, Azerbaijan, or Austria. These three are my top candidates at the moment.
Difficult to judge at this point, but Monaco, Baku, and for different reasons, Montreal could be at risk. The ones scheduled for September-December are too far away for proper judgments.
Alexander Albon (if he gets to stay at RBR for next season.)
Daniil Kvyat if he were to take the above’s place for next season.
Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, or Esteban Ocon in a bit longer-term future.An OK venue for this purpose, yes, it could be somewhere else as well, but SIC definitely is a decent choice of venue for it.
@Garns Monaco is still a bit too cool for F1’s liking in April, so wouldn’t be worth it to temporarily move it there just for this reason.
For @Keith Collantine BTW, April 14th is the race day this year, 15th served as that last year.@plushpile Yes, Paul Ricard’s temperatures in April are relatively similar to, for example, Shanghai’s, Suzuka’s, and Baku’s equivalents, but still, though, I can’t see it being moved to that part of the season as, for achieving this particular feat, it’d have to take place between Bahrain, and China rather than after them at the end of the month. It’s far more likely that it will remain in June or move to July than to April even temporarily.
@Vettel fan 17 ”since Bahrain and China usually swap every year since 2016.”
– That has been nothing but a mere coincidence, though, rather than a rule/pre-planned tradition as in 2016 China was initially supposed to be round 2, and Bahrain round 3, only to switch places due to the schedule changes (which affected a few other races’ date slots as well, not just these two) made later to accommodate for the traditional August summer break period, while this year they were supposed to take place in the same order as last year, only to switch slots again because China wanted to move away from the 2nd weekend of April due to some local festivities that take place there around that time of the month annually.@Garns Silverstone, Monaco, Spa, Monza can all get (Silverstone and Spa especially) unfavorably cool for F1 in April, so moving any of them to that month only to revert to the traditional slot for the following season wouldn’t really be worth it even for this special occasion. Suzuka’s climate, on the other hand, is similar to that of Shanghai, but still, I can’t see it being moved to April for any reason whatsoever in the short-term.
