Never like today the calendar of Formula 1 it's been so much at the center of attention. Interest in the top flight is soaring, and there are people from all over the globe promoters who can't wait to grab a Grand Prix.
Recently, the protagonists of the discussions regarding the weekends on the calendar have been of the opposite matrix: on the one hand i new tracks including Miami, Jeddah and Vegas (the latter from 2023) have secured a place in the premier class world championship. On the other hand, there are historical tracks such as Spa Francorchamps, Monaco, and Paul Ricard; the latter are about to expire, e they are not sure absolute to be part of the calendar for the coming years.
Monk in balance
The Principality Grand Prix is a symbol of Formula 1, and as such it is in the interest of many ensure its permanence in the calendar. The goal is to not let the race last Sunday the last edition disputed. Liberty Medium, driven by the demand of many organizers from tracks all over the world, he made his intentions clear: if Monaco wants to keep its place in the world championship, will have to do without some privileges which the Principality historically enjoys; one for all the absence of monetary burdens to Liberty Media itself (it is the only race to have such immunity).
Other benefits
The southern French city-state also has other important privileges. For example, the individual management of sponsors that frame the track. Here Liberty Media wants to align the Monegasque event with advertising constraints to which the other grands prix currently present are subjected.
2023 format
In the event that the negotiations are successful, the weekend of 2023 will always fall after the Spanish GP. Given the density of the calendar which induces the two stages to be separated by a few days, it will break, as happened this year, the tradition which saw the early start of the weekend on Thursdays. The logistics of Formula 1 are usually organized a year in advance, so it is reasonable to think that theAutomobile Club of Monaco and Liberty Media they will leave the negotiating table shortly with the clearest ideas.
