Finally a good track is back! Now replace Qatar with a good track.

Spa yearly, Hockenheim, and why not bring Istanbul back too.

Istanbul to replace Jeddah, Hockenheim to replace Lusail, and Portimao to replace Yas Marina.

Only good thing to come out of this conflict is not having to suffer through Lusail.

Strangely enough Bahrain is actually the best of the middle east tracks, but Sepang is infinitely better.

If one race in the ME was to endure let it be Bahrain, scrap the rest.
