Why Monaco but not Australia? Albert Park's had a contract extension, but Monaco is free to do what it wants

Oops, sorry, I clearly wasn't paying enough attention.

I'm sure I've done this before, but what the hell.

1. Australian GP, Melbourne
2. Malaysian GP, Sepang
3. UAE GP, Dubai Autodrome
4. Turkish GP, Istanbul
5. European GP, Donington Park/Mugello
6. Spanish GP, Jerez
7. Monaco GP, Monte Carlo
8. Canadian GP, Montreal
9. United States GP, Laguna Seca
10. Mexican GP, Mexico City
11. French GP, Le Castelet (no chicane on the Mistral)
12. British GP, Silverstone
13. German GP, Nurburgring
14. Czech GP, Brno
15. Belgian GP, Spa
16. Italian GP, Monza
17. Portuguese GP, Portimao
18. Singapore GP, Marina Bay
19. Japanese GP, Suzuka
20. Argentinian GP, Potrero de los Funes
21. Brazilian GP, Interlagos

Frankly, if Monaco is satisfactory for F1, and I don't care if it's a street circuit or that it was grandfathered in, I'm not sure what you can consider unacceptable. The laws of physics are the same at Monaco, Singapore, and Melbourne as they are at Mexico City, Laguna Seca, and Potrero de los Funes. The ONLY way you can thoroughly convince me is if the numbers PROVE that those "questionable" circuits are truly worse/more hazardous than the worst/most dangerous circuit(s) already on the F1 calendar.

I am taking this from the point of view that all of the current F1 tracks will not be available contractually, so I have selected alternative venues.

_1. Adelaide (AUS) Australasia
_2. Phakisa (RSA) Africa
_3. Losail (QAT) Middle East
_4. Chennai (IND) Asia
_5. Macau (MAC) Asia
_6. Fuji (JPN) Asia
_7. Zhuhai (CHI) Asia
_8. Mugello (ITA) Europe
_9. Jerez (ESP) Europe
10. the new track (POR) Europe
11. Paul Ricard (FRA) Europe
12. Hockenheim-Ring (GER) (long track) Europe
13. Brno (CZH) Europe
14. Zandvoort (NED) Europe
15. Mo i Rana (NOR) Europe
16. Brands Hatch (GBR) Europe
17. Mosport (CAN) North America
18. Sebring (USA) North America

I've given thought to the seasons with the first races being in the southern hemisphere, gradually moving up the atlas through Asia, then across to Southern Europe, moving North all the way to Scandinavia for their driver representation in motorsport. Brands Hatch is the last European track before jumping off to Canada, then down to Sebring as a finishing race. I think this is a good way to bring the US fans into the sport, and it always used to be a feature location on any motorsport calender.
