Really wish the organizers at tracks like Hockenheim or Sepang had the budget to host a race. So many tracks here that are simply all right, buying their way in, while truly stellar ones just wither away on the sidelines.

Very curious to see if the Chinese GP even happens next year.

If only there was an Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team with connections to both countries that would push for that...

It would be quite the bill to foot for an organisation thatโ€™s already pretty expensive to run. I donโ€™t imagine they would do that unless thereโ€™s some serious financial incentive at the end of it, even if there is a connection there. They are a business after all.

You mean two organizations: Mercedes-Benz AG and Petronas. The Red Bull F1 team isn't the owner and sponsor of Red Bull Ring either.

They are a business after all.

So is Red Bull and the incentive is to promote the brand.

I mean, Iโ€™m pretty sure this must have been considered by them already, so if they still havenโ€™t done it, itโ€™s probably because the numbers just donโ€™t check out.

Its clear that organisations like RB, Merc and Ferrari are highly adept at (and love) making money. If theyโ€™re not partaking in a potential opportunity, there must truly be a compelling economic reason behind that with the sort of information that you and I are simply not privy to.
