Can't wait for China to be cancelled again! Idk why they bother adding it at this point.

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 πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

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.

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.

Thanks, I hate it. Can we please get Austin moved to the early part of the calendar, though? It's way too fucking hot in October (temps normally are still just below 40Β°C at that time of year).

Looks like it’s a lot better about going to a different continent every weekend.
