Verstappen would prefer F1 to have more ‘old school’ tracks

Verstappen would prefer F1 to have more ‘old school’ tracks
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen says he would prefer to have some older Formula 1 venues back on the calendar permanently in the wake of their 2020 events.

Formula 1 had to heavily overhaul its schedule due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with only four events taking place on their original date, and over half of the planned rounds cancelled.

The championship’s need to have a predominantly European calendar meant the Nürburgring and Imola returned after a long absence while Mugello and Portimao joined for the first time.

Next year’s provisional calendar features 23 events but none of the rounds that were a Covid-related stand-in are present.

There remains a potentially vacant berth, with the event listed for April 25 lacking a venue amid Vietnam’s absence, prompting suggestions that a 2020 stand-in circuit could still yet return.

“We’ve had a few good races,” said Verstappen when asked for his preference on a Hanoi replacement.

“Portimao was cool but I hope we have a bit more grip if we ever go back there. Imola was nice – I think the track was very old school.

“Nurburgring I also enjoyed so there are a few which could replace some grands prix we have on the calendar.

“I will go for Imola, a bit more old school. You’re running at some corners all the way up to the gravel so if you go too wide you’re off so I would go for that one, even though Mugello was nice as well.

“It’s difficult to pick but like I said it’s better to remove a few of the ones we have now and add these back in.”

Next year’s championship is due to begin in Australia on March 21.
