Formula One CEO Chase Carey has stated that the F1 won't be adding races to the calendar unless the new venues have the potential for great racing.
The sport has been in the news a lot lately for wanting to add multiple new races to the calendar, including places like Miami, Vietnam, Argentina and Denmark. Carey explained that if any of these should make it into the F1-calendar, it's because of the racing potential.
"There are a handful of things that are important for us," he said to F1i.
"First, we want to make sure that it is great for a race.
"While we build all the things around it, it starts with having a track that provides a great race.
"Today, realistically, there are tracks that probably we need to work on that are not conducive to providing the most exciting best racing.
"I think second, we want a site that is going to capture the world's imagination.
"We use the phrase destination cities, and we are in places where you want, when they [fans] look at it on TV, are excited about it, think it looks spectacular, and really capture people's imagination.
"We want those magical cities and magical countries that really intrigue and fascinate the world."
