[Gayton McKenzie, South African sports minister] I have set up meetings with relevant people already, my term will be a failure if I don’t bring one of the biggest sporting tourist events to South Africa which is F1. Our first meeting is end of August in Monaco.

I damn sure hope it's Mexico. You can like the stadium section all you want and it's cool on the post race cooldown lap and all, but man that track is garbage and I'll die on that hill.

Otherwise Imola seems likely, I think the contract is running out? Wouldn't be a huge loss, it's not a suitable track for modern F1 cars anyway despite its historic relevance.

Bah gawd, that's Monte Carlo's music!

Eh, I think Monaco is special enough to get a pass. It's okay with one track like that on the calendar. It's got enough about it to make it feel special, and at least the qualy makes up for the race. Monaco qualifying is still one of the most exciting and entertaining days on the F1 calendar.

I mean Monte Carlo is cool and all, but I think it'd be better for something like a uniquely Formula One version of the Goodwood Festival versus an actual race weekend.
