As the saying goes: Money talks BS walks.
Fans on social media are not impressed. One announcement post to the F1 Instagram page had something like 15k comments. The most you ever see is 4 or 5k. There are the odd 'this is great' comments but the majority are unhappy. Unhappy about 3 USA races, about another street circuit that people believe will be garbage.
Also a bunch of comments about the great historic tracks like Spa, Hockenheim, and Nurburgring. The fear is that Vegas will knock off Spa and/or keep the grand old tracks from getting back on the schedule. (Edit: remember when Liberty Media said F1 would be getting back to its roots at European tracks???)
There was also concern about being able to get tickets and how much they would cost. I believe the opinion is the US races cost big bucks and they get bought out most riki tik. (sort of like a Super Bowl, whatever that is)
I was thinking this morning after I saw the news. I remember when you could name all the tracks and knew which race was next just by the month. Back when San Marino had a GP as well as Portugal.
I don't think this is a good thing. COTA is a good track and the race is usually entertaining. My fear is that w Miami and Vegas, little old country red neck Texas will be on the chopping block because the millionaires don't want to go there as much as South Beach and Vegas.
