Steiner ‘can imagine’ Monaco falling off the calendar

Guenther Steiner has said he could imagine Monaco being dropped from the F1 calendar with increasing speculation that the historic track could be removed.

Despite being one of the most famous tracks in F1 history, there has been talk that Monaco’s place on the F1 calendar is not as assured as it once was.

There are several reasons why the historic track could be dropped from the calendar. The first is the argument that modern cars have outgrown the tight circuit which produces less exciting races as drivers can not overtake. The second is the facilities are also too small for modern F1 teams and the final is that other tracks provide F1 with much more money in race fees.

Many of the current drivers have expressed their hope that the track stays but Haas boss Steiner said he “can imagine” Monaco falling off the calendar.

“We would love to keep all the races but that can’t happen,” Steiner told RTL/ntv.  “Yes, I can imagine it.

“We have to see that it also continues commercially and bring the sport to countries where it has not been for a long time.”

Formula 1 is expanding with a Miami circuit being added this year as well as one in Las Vegas in 2023. There is also talk that a return to South Africa may be on the card and Steiner hopes that any new tracks not only bring financial benefits but also something different in terms of the races
