Singapore has however tossed its hat into the ring, offering to host two races on consecutive weekends \u2013 a dusk race and a night race \u2013 to fill the gap.<\/p>\n<p>When you factor Qatar and Vegas into the mix for \u201923, that would actually have meant 25 races, but Russia looks unlikely to return in the short term, saving F1 an even greater headache. But to keep to the 23 cap, a race must go.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s expected that the French GP will not be renewed for 2023 as F1 trims its European roots, and that\u2019s unlikely to end there. With a South African round looking likely for 2024 \u2013 taking F1 to every inhabited continent on the planet \u2013 plus the expected eventual return of China, another two races face the chop.Fan favourite Spa-Francorchamps is a possible candidate with its ageing infrastructure and unless the promise \u2013 and funding \u2013 of updating its tired pits and paddock complex emerge, it looks as though its days are numbered despite recent works to increase safety at Eau Rouge. That may not go down well with die-hard fans.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s even been speculated that Monaco, which enjoys special treatment with its almost non-existent hosting fee, locally controlled advertising and paddock club, is at risk unless they accept new terms that are in F1\u2019s favour.It\u2019s clear that F1 is a booming business at the moment, with countries and cities clamouring for a slice of action, with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali recently admitting that with current demand, a 30-race calendar would even be possible. Meanwhile Andretti is seeking to enter a new team just as the VW Group gives the green light to both Audi and Porsche entering the sport from 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
