'Where would F1 be racing in a perfect season? The tracks we should get rid of'

Jim and Ben discussed a comment featuring ten tracks from one of our viewers. His list included: Kyalami (South Africa), Nurburgring and Hockenheimring (Germany), Sepang (Malaysia), Istanbul (Türkiye), Portimao (Portugal), Yeongam (South Korea), Buddh International Circuit (India), Circuit Paul Ricard (France), and Magny-Cours (France). His dream would be a rotating German and French Grands Prix.

So far, it has been announced that the Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimao and the Turkish Grand Prix will return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2027. The Portuguese race has a two-year contract, while the Turkish Grand Prix has a deal in place until 2031.

GPblog understands that the Formula 1 calendar will not expand to 25 Grands Prix, which means that both the 2027 and 2028 calendars are filled, as 24 weekends already have a place secured. The earliest a new track could join would then be in 2029, as three contracts expire in 2028: the Portuguese Grand Prix, the Singapore Grand Prix and the Mexico City Grand Prix.
