I still don't understand why Canada is in between two European races, why not have it after the Miami GP and then have all of the European ones together.
They're bringing all of the equipment to Europe for two races, then packing it all up and going to Canada, and then bringing it all back. It just doesn't seem logical to me π€·ββοΈ
weather
Fair point, but if they swapped Canada with Emilia Romagna would the weather really be that different in those 3 weeks? I don't think rain should be a consideration, so is it that much colder in mid-May compared to Early June?
Not great, not terrible.
I think it's mostly about the weather.
Also, teams have several sets of equipment. The equipment for European races remains in Europe, they don't bring it to Canada and back.
