    me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment

    Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn’t everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don’t follow these “classical” (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?

    Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.

    People rightfully pointed out the safety issues in Qatar, but are happy to disregard them for a classic track.

    Spa delivers great racing, but we’ve also seen two fatalities in the last few years (Hubert and van 't Hoff), and multiple close calls like Norris being flung across the track in 2019.

    While Eau Rouge/Raidillon is probably the most exciting corner on the F1 calendar, van 't Hoff’s death in july has shown that it still isn’t as safe as it needs to be. While this decision is certainly also (or mostly) driven by financial motives, having the chance to reevaluate the track’s safety in a few years is imho a good thing.

    Spa is amazing and I want it to stay, but it’s not more important than the health and safety of the drivers.
