The thorny question of the French Grand Prix

It is circulating in the stables while awaiting its officialization. Made up of 23 rounds including 4 doubles and 3 triples, next season's calendar will be the most extensive in F1 history. On the other hand, the date of July 17 allocated to Paul-Ricard looks like an annoyance in the eyes of the organizer of the French Grand Prix.

What do we learn from the provisional calendar for the 2022 championship which is circulating among the teams and which has somewhat leaked? That the championship will be made up of 23 Grands Prix (22 this year) spread over eight months, between March 20 and November 20.

In July ? so what ? Would there be less crowds? But this is already the case and in any case in an autophobic country there are not enough fans, just spectators!!! and then this will solve the traffic problem. By absolutely wanting to organize a GP on a circuit with a rubbish layout one day after the next, its legitimacy had to resurface. For my part, the main flaw in this 2022 calendar is the organization of a GP on the weekend of the 24 hours of Le Mans. In short, we can clearly see here too, France's lack of consideration, to my greatest despair.
