I would suggest a calendar that doesnt jump from continent to another and then back. I would keep it steady flowing.

Like Asia – Europe – Americas. So no Canada in the middle of the year etc…..

What do you think ? Which other track would you put in ? LA street, NY street, London street, paris street, etc…. ?

Put your suggestions. You can put any track.

Chicago street course – including Michigan Avenue
New York street course – not in Staten Island, but Manhattan
Sydney street course
Barbados

Bring back – Zandvoort, Estoril, Brands Hatch
Remove – Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Russia

Can I ask those who suggest adding non-F1-standard tracks like Zandvoort and Brands Hatch the following question:

Are you suggesting keeping these tracks as they are, and altering the FIA’s standard for F1 circuits so they make the grade (with the potential ramifications in terms of safety).

Or are you suggesting these tracks should be altered to satisfy existing F1 standards, as for example is happening at Mexico’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez right now?

Fontana Roval (combines oval speedway and road course) (45 mins. outside of Los Angeles)
Port Imperial street circuit, New York City (Weehawken, NJ)
Finland (street circuit in Helsinki or a permanent road circuit)
A street circuit in Hong Kong
A road or permanent circuit in Sint Maarten, Barbados or some other inhabited island in the Carribean

Remove:

Add:

@mike85 F1 journalist Joe Saward had a suggestion:

March: Austin, Long Beach, Melbourne
April: Singapore, Bahrain, Sochi
May: Monaco, Belgium
June: Canada, New York
July: France, Britain, Germany
August: Italy, Japan
September: China, Abu Dhabi
October: Brazil, Mexico

Interestingly, he leaves out Malaysia, Spain, Austria, Hungary, adding France, Long Beach and New York.
2015 F1 calendar in comparison:

March: Melbourne, Malaysia
April: Bahrain, China
May: Spain, Monaco
June: Canada, Austria
July: Britain, Germany, Hungary
August: Belgium
September: Italy, Singapore, Japan
October: Sochi, Austin
November: Mexico, Brazil, Abu Dhabi

@keithcollantine I think F1 cars have outgrown old/lost tracks like Brands Hatch, Zandvoort etc., but for Mexico, I would add the old hairpin back in (for a longer lap and a second overtaking spot), make minimal changes for safety (update catch fencing and resurface to remove bumps, maybe tarmac for gravel where needed), and probably run through the stadium for logistical reasons (as well as FIA mandates on safety).
