   Overall, I'm decently okay with this schedule except for not pairing Miami & Montreal, which contradicts F1's carbon neutrality plan.
   Pairing these two should be a no-brainer, either preceding Spain-Monaco or succeeding, in which case Spain-Monaco earlier.

   You want reduced carbon footprint, less travel cost, decreased travel impact on team members (poor schmucks), increased geographic publicity exposure AND maintain iconic dates? Try this. Took me 20 minutes. Gee, FIA, that wasn't so tough.

     Sorry about the cut & paste mess but you get the idea.

     A Russia-Hungary double would be undoable as Russian GP is a freight event, while teams use trucks for European tracks.
     Additionally, Canada is risky with low & fluctuating temps past mid-September.

       Don't know about a Russian work-around but I have personally raced in Canada well into October and it has been glorious, well into the mid 50'sf midday, and that was in the mountains.

         Below 15 degrees Celcius is generally unideal for F1, not to mention a possible heavy rain chance, so unworthy risk.
         Northern Hemisphere summer is mostly the only suitable phase for Canadian GP.

           OK, Jere, we've beaten this ti death. One last comment. Racing in the mid 50's is quite acceptable and September rainfall is a bit less than June in Montreal. I lived 100 mi from Montreal for 7 yrs,. BTW, the whole purpose of this Sunday afternoon hypothetical exercise was to point out the possibility of a much more efficient schedule. Didn't mean to twist your wires.

   Qatar’s Losail International Circuit will hold its first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix from November 19th-21st, with the country set to host the 20th event of the 2021 season, as well as signing an additional 10-year deal to host F1 from 2023.

   And crowd capacity is..............8000.! can that be right ?

         I doubt that our hero will be warmly welcomed at the sand tracks. Perhaps he will wear a kandura and ghutrah headdress to gain favor, black of course with a MB logo.
