#4 Liberty Media keeping their Promises

Liberty Media set out goals when they took-over Formula 1 a couple years ago.
Liberty Media set out goals when they took-over Formula 1 a couple years ago.

Ever since Liberty Media took-over Formula 1 in 2017, fans have been split on whether their introduction into the sport would be a positive or negative presence. Most were sick and tired of Bernie Ecclestone's old regime, but sometimes it's better the devil you know than the one you don't. One of the promises which were made by Liberty was that the traditional European races would be protected from being removed from the calendar. Since then, the German and French Grands Prix have both returned to the roster while no other European races have been discontinued.

Critics were worried after the Vietnam Grand Prix was announced to be run in 2020 that Liberty would follow the money these events bring rather than the concerns of the fans who attend the racing weekends. The Dutch Grand Prix returning isn't all good however, as its first week of May slot is when the Spanish GP is usually on, and with Catalunya currently not having a contract for the next season, many expect it to be discontinued, although this rumour isn't currently confirmed or denied.

Are you looking forward to the return of the Dutch Grand Prix? Whether you are or not, let us know why in the comments below!
