Fantasy F1 Calendar

So I mean, I think we've somewhat done this in the past. But I'll go ahead and do it anyway because I can't sleep.

Rules (I make em, because I posted this):
* Create your own F1 calendar including 24 circuits
* No country can have more than 3 races (as USA will have this number next season)
* You can only use street circuits, circuits that could reasonable secure Grade 1 certification from the FIA, or circuits that have been used by F1 fairly recently
* You must include at least 1 race in every part of the world F1 does visit (Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Far East)
* You can re-use a circuit, but must use another reasonable layout

1. Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne Park 🇦🇺
2. Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir Outer Circuit 🇧🇭 (Variety with some shorter circuits, the one race we had on this layout in 2020 was good)
3. Tuscan Grand Prix - Mugello 🇮🇹
4. Portuguese Grand Prix - Portimão Circuit 🇵🇹
5. Monaco Grand Prix - Circuit de Monaco 🇲🇨
6. Spanish Grand Prix - Circuit Ricardo Tormo 🇪🇸
7. German Grand Prix - Nürburgring 🇩🇪
8. Austrian Grand Prix - Red Bull Ring 🇦🇹
9. Indianapolis Grand Prix - Indianapolis 🇺🇸 (I think the current cars could use that infield well)
10. Canadian Grand Prix - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve 🇨🇦
11. United States Grand Prix - Circuit of the Americas 🇺🇸
12. British Grand Prix - Silverstone Circuit 🇬🇧
13. Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring 🇭🇺
14. Belgian Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps 🇧🇪
15. Dutch Grand Prix - TT Circuit Assen 🇳🇱 (controversial to visit the Motorcycle cathedral, but it'll do better than Zandvoort)
16. Finnish Grand Prix - Helsinki Street Circuit 🇫🇮 (We really need to honour the Finnish)
17. Malaysian Grand Prix - Sepang International Circuit 🇲🇾
18. Japanese Grand Prix - Suzuka Circuit 🇯🇵
20. Singapore Grand Prix - Marina Bay Street Circuit 🇸🇬
21. South African Grand Prix - Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit 🇿🇦
22. Las Vegas Grand Prix - Las Vegas Street Circuit 🇺🇸 (I'm genuinely excited to see this one next year. F1 is gimmicky, it's a circus, it's glamour and glitz. Las Vegas in a Monza style circuit makes perfect sense)
23. Mexican Grand Prix - Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez 🇲🇽
24. Brazilian Grand Prix - Interlagos Circuit 🇧🇷

So, what have I done?
* Well, I feel like Bahrain is the best circuit in the Middle East, and if F1 needs oil money let's let them have it. I got rid of the others, though.
* This schedule does jump back and forth across the Atlantic a bit, but not nearly as badly as real F1.
* I'm only inventing one new circuit, the Finnish Grand Prix on a Helsinki street circuit. We've built some circuits over the years, I could revisit them.
* I'm replacing some circuits, like Barcelona and Zandvoort, for other alternatives in their countries.
* Miami is off the calendar, we're back to the very unpopular Indy infield circuit. It'll be fine, as long as nobody uses Michelin.
* An F1 calendar starts in Australia, and ends in Brazil. It is what it is.
"It is becoming apparent Ericsson is not, after all, joining Ferrari Ganassi for 2019 2020."
