With F1 bumping up against the limit of races (actually, will exceed it by a couple of races next year), either they need to extend the Concord agreement to go beyond the 24 event maximum (and address the cost cap and parts allotments accordingly), or races like Monaco have to go. I've heard that Spa is another on the potential chopping block and I'd rather lose Monaco than Spa any day. But Spa is in the middle of the Ardenne forest in Belgium, not a rich billionaire playground destination the way Monte Carlo and the Mediterranean is, so I know which one is more likely to lose.
Monaco was not missed when cancelled for COVID. Not even spoken of. Its a joke of a race in a great place. It should be charity event for F1. Put the overpaid driver minions in some spec series sportscars/coupes and let them run a short race etc.

Losing SPA is hard to accept if the F1 leaders think that is a good idea............
