I don't know.
16 was too few
24 is way too many unless they really get serious and just run back to back on a tight turnaround of proper tracks with the majority being Europe.
certainly a limit of 20 and a season ending in October st the latest.

I like the idea of mainly in Europe,because if the F1 management were serious about reducing greenhouse gases etc. they would do that.
But,money talks,and they love their middle eastern and American tracks and MONEY.
the middle east crap (they are all dull) is drivable too. they could take a 3 week hiatus and go tour that in a 3 week burst.
same for Austin, Mexico and Montreal if there were serious.
I know there's a long way between them but nothing insurmountable
Problem with the US is they've ignored some great tracks for ****ty street courses hoping to replicate the 'glitz' of Monaco whilst ignoring the races there have been utter dogshit for decades. Could've gone to Road America, Watkins Glen, and F1 at Daytona Road would be ****ing awesome.
Would Laguna Seca be too dangerous for F1 with the famous corkscrew?
yeah, sadly, it's also quite narrow, same with Virginia international, which is an awesome track.
I do a lot of sim racing, yeah, it's a lot of fun, after Nordschliefe it's probably my favourite (should be Spa, but every race half the grid think they're the next Verstappen and it ends in a wreckfest). I'm gonna say there's too much run off though, and it's all grass, so get the entry to Madison wrong, which is a fairly steep down hill and off camber, you end up sliding down the hill into the countryside.
I’m not sure that’s the point? What it does do is reduce the randomness of the rear of the championship and gives the teams at the grid something to work towards. Too often 8/9/10 in the championship is dictated by one fluke result due to a lucky safety car or a team being strong on a weekend where a number of the drivers don’t finish. There’s no huge falloff in competition between 10th/11th vs 11th/12th today, so I don’t see any particular difference arising in that regard.
speaking on the above.
I would actually tell Monaco it is off the calender unless they make layout changes.
the epic fume by all and sundry who like they annual trip there in the sport would be epic but there's not a fan that would miss that track as it stands.
not one of us.
take out the chicane after the tunnel and chop done those trees to make a massively long straight.
do it or lose it.

imo. no to more points unless the teams allow 24 cars on the grid.
only logic is half the cars score, the other half are not good enough to.
points from.1 to 12 in a 20 car field. no thanks.
Monaco had always been ****, even back in the 90s. Unless it rains. 1996 or 1997 probably the best race I seen there in my lifetime.
