The F1 president Stefano Domenicali has hinted calendar
rotation is on the way – but which of the 10 European circuits could be at
risk?
With more and more countries eager to get on the F1
schedule, the sport is having to decide which existing tracks will be permanent
fixtures and which may have to sit out some years.
Which European circuits are most and least likely to be
part of F1’s rotation policy?
10.) Silverstone, British Grand Prix
Silverstone was the first circuit ever used for an F1
race and one which has been on the schedule continuously since 1987.
It is hard to see a world where F1 leaves Silverstone
given it is half the teams’ home race, one of the most well-attended events and
a circuit that produces great racing.
A contract until 2034 signals Silverstone is here to stay
permanently.
Rating: Very low risk
9.) Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Italian Grand Prix
Just as Silverstone has the history, Monza does too and
if Britain is home to 50% of the F1 teams, Italy is home to the most important
one.
As Ferrari’s home race, you need only look at the moments
after Charles Leclerc won there in 2024 to show why this Grand Prix means so
much.
It has a deal until 2025 but it looks very unlikely that
it won’t be extended.
Rating: Very low risk
8.) Red Bull Ring, Austrian Grand Prix
