« Istanbul, as a city, represents a cultural gateway between Europe and Asia, offering a unique blend of history and tradition with a cutting-edge approach to sport, business, and entertainment. I would like to thank His Excellency President Mr. Erdoğan, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Turkish Motor Sports Federation for their support which has enabled the return of Formula 1. »

After the return of Portimao in 2027, comes Istanbul Park, the scene of a "sumptuous" clash between teammates from the Webber/Vettel era in 2010! Who's next, Buddh in India or Kyalami in South Africa, since Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea are no longer being mentioned? Perhaps other destinations will need to be found if the war in the Persian Gulf drags on...

No comment on this otherwise excellent article, but I wanted to express my frustration, as a paying subscriber to the magazine since its inception, at not being able to read the articles published here without logging in each time, and then having to fight against those damn pop-up ads, carefully designed to disrupt the reading experience, practically impossible to close without opening the commercial site, and reappearing with every new article. AutoHebdo, I love you, but your site is a nightmare to use compared to Motorsport Magazine or Racers, for example. Do something!
