Dutch GP to go

[Sixpackpert]

Dutch GP has 2 years left and then it is gone.

Looks like the books couldn't be balanced to keep it going.

How successful is the Dutch GP without Max? It seems likely based on other recent deals that F1 was looking for a 5 or 10 year contract which means Max is likely to retire during that period.

I read that the Dutch GP only works financially if they sell every seat on every day. If Max goes that's not going to happen so makes sense to call it.

The circuit is cool but ultimately doesn't make for the best racing with current F1 cars.

Or if they only had an alternate year GP it might be hard to make the numbers work.
