On the topic of heritage, you said, “You can’t help but agree that F1 keeping its history present & proud is important” Actually, I can help agreeing. Now, I will grant that I’m one of those newer F1 fans, so I don’t have any nostalgia for any particular track. But I would argue that nostalgia is not a good measure of importance. It may feel important to those who have it, but there comes a tipping point where placing too much importance on nostalgia creates a barrier to entry. When a track like Monaco becomes a totem for what F1 “is”, and new fans who don’t like the track are chastised for not being “real” F1 fans, we have a problem.

On the topic of how to actually set up a calendar, like your round robin style setup, but I would add a couple features: 1. Out of the 20 (or however many) slots, reserve some number of them for new/one off tracks. This would be your walk-on line... Tracks that cannot commit to hosting on a regular schedule, and so only apply to be on the F1 calendar every so often... perhaps a rule that these tracks can’t have been on the calendar in the last three years, or something like that. 2. Reserve some of them to be auctioned. This one is more for Liberty’s benefit, but I think it’s important to keep the sport viable. This way, if a track REALLY wants to be a permanent fixture on the F1 calendar, they can do it, but they gotta pay.
