China could also have three F1 races according Wolff
May 4 - There is room in Formula 1 for as many as three separate grands prix in China, according to Toto Wolff.
Although the 2023 calendar is at breaking point with an unprecedented 23 races, rumours are afoot that the sport could axe a series of traditional European events to make way for new markets.
"We've been in Shanghai before and couldn't be there the last two years, but this is an important market for us," the Mercedes boss told the Chinese news agency Xinhua.
"I'd like to not only race in Shanghai, I'd also like to race in Beijing," he said. "It's a fantastic market for us as Mercedes, and I believe we should be embedded there with a strong footprint.
"We have three races in the US now and if we can do the same thing in China, that would be great," Wolff added.

Ok So Toto now speaks for bod at Merc road cars does he, as CEO of speaking the blindingly obvious to Chinese journos who just lap this shite up
Forget China.
Get a race (or 2) in GERMANY!!!!!!
And dump Miami and Vegas and race on real circuits in the US! It shouldn't be racing where the locals pay the most to hostbraces on carp tracks, streets or parking lots. Fans would much rather see a race at the Glen, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, Pocanos, etc...
Her Liberty out of this silly business they are in.

3 US races.
1 on a track so vumpy, MotoGP may quit trying to race there,
1 thru Miami sluma,
1 on Vega parking lot.
That's what the fans want!?
BS
The long-time regular Shanghai event needs to re-occur before an additional China race consideration, & next season, this should finally happen.
I’d be hugely surprised if even next April proved too soon.
Chinese races depends on them joining forces with Russia and neuking Europe
They are sitting on the sidelines
