World champion Max Verstappen says it would be a"big shame" to his lose"favourite track" Spa-Francorchamps from the 2023 Formula 1 calendar.As F1's owner Liberty Media is seeking to expand the calendar with new races outside Europe, Spa's Belgian Grand Prix is one of the traditional European races under severe threat.
But with South Africa likely to join Las Vegas as new venues on 2023's 24-race calendar, Belgium - along with France - is set to miss out. "It would be a big shame to lose Spa. It's my favourite track in the world and also with the recent changes they did to the run off and stuff," Verstappen said. "I think there's a compromise to be found, because in the end, I think we all love going to France, to Spa but at the same time the sport is growing so much," Sainz added.
1 less racists track is a win for humanity 💯 😄
If its cancelled, I believe we will see a second race this season in SaudiArabianGP 🇸🇦😎
_Ed Yet F1 wants the $$$$ from 4 races in the middle east. They must feel Qatar Spa.
Agree 1000000% SPA can not and should not be excluded from the f1 calendar ever
If F1 loses Spa it loses a bit of its soul. Fantastic track, & part of F1's heritage. Just baffling to me that we're even discussing it as a possibility.
I can understand they want to get rid of racist verstappen fans. Should add toronto gp next

F1 loosing spa shows that the only real interest of f1’s leaders is not racing, is not fans, but big money!!! SPA is one of if not the best circuit in the world, Saudi Arabia for example is very far of that, but who cares, as long as big cheques are written to the right person..
Spa has to stay, easy top 5 circuit
F1 should’ve never been sold too Americans, the way it’s going we’ll have one race in the country of whoever is the head of the FIA and the rest will be be held in the USA! F1 FrenchGP
Spa, Nuremburg & a few others should at least be on a rotating basis
This is unforgivable. F1 is slowly dying.
W take
