Spa is a weird choice.
I think Miami and Qatar sprints are probably the most devisive ones, yet they’re here on the calendar once again.
Sprints are about selling more tickets. And Spa needs help with that.
But it’s not the circuits who decide where they host one, so there was a conscious decision to help Spa?
Race promoters wanted to sell more tickets on the Friday. So instead of the two practice sessions, we get a competitive qualifying session.
Spa, being in the middle of nowhere has always had trouble getting fans into the track. That’s why you get all those overreaction “Spa’s getting dropped for a race in North Korea” articles every couple years.
