Now if only they would move Monaco.... imagine the run France / Austria / Britain / Monaco / Germany / Hungary for a 5-in-a-row end to the first half of the season!
They have avoided a clash once again with the Le Mans 24hr race, so maybe we'll see a McLaren-Honda LMP1 take part so that Alonso can be the first driver to break down in each of the Triple-Crown races in consecutive years!

I think i would prefer Nevers Magny-Cours to Paul Ricard IMO, but I'll reserve my judgement till will see how Paul Ricard goes in 2018.

Also a shame that the F1 cars will have to use that chicane on the Mistral straight, That high speed Signes corner would be awesome without that chicane on Mistral. That corner would've separated the men from the boys.

MAKE RENAULT GREAT AGAIN

Though I still miss the Magny Cours circuit very much.
