Fans react to Mexican GP deal: "...but not a German GP, just ridiculous!"
On Thursday, Formula 1 confirmed the contract extension of the Mexican Grand Prix. The deal sees the sport continue to visit Mexico until at least 2022. While some fans are pleased with the announcements, others fear for the German Grand Prix.
Despite Liberty Media suggesting the number of races would remain at 21, in Hungary, they asked teams whether they'd be able to manage 22 races in one season. It seems like this was voted for. Having started from a list of around five, we've now got just two Grands Prix with question marks...Spain and Germany.
3 more years of Mexico but not a German GP, just ridiculous!

Great news, it’s a mega track. Always a good atmosphere in the stadium section too! And great for Checo Perez if he stays, which hopefully he will.

We are still waiting for the African Grand Prix in South Africa at the Kyalami Racing Circuit! You've been engaging in never-ending talks regarding this matter. Any update?

No German GP with the greatest legend of this sport being German, a 4 time German champion driving for Ferrari, and Mercedes being in there is just ridiculous.
