What's the dream F1 calendar?

Update: 2025-01-22

Description

As South Africa becomes the latest country to throw its hat in the ring for a future Formula 1 race, the Mics Out team evaluates the current schedule and how it looks set to evolve.

Cian Brittle and Tom Brown come up with their ideal F1 calendar and, in the process, find out just how hard it is to achieve a schedule that is sufficiently global and sustainable in equal measure.

Elsewhere, we compete to build our fantasy driver lineups for the 24 Hours of Daytona, which takes place this weekend.

Talking points:
