Max Verstappen chooses Mugello as the dream track he would add to the F1 calendar "For me, Mugello." "[Because of the] track layout. There are so many fast corners and in an F1 car, it’s so nice." [Talking Bull Podcast]
Max Verstappen, who is not a fan of every single circuit in Formula One, named the one circuit he would like to have on the calendar.
Red Bull Racing F1 driver Max Verstappen made it clear throughout the 2023 season he does not like racing on quite a few circuits in the calendar.
The Dutchman has been critical when it came to street tracks like the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, as he said these are not made for F1 cars and do not allow drivers to extract the full potential out of their cars.
The Dutchman said he enjoys classical F1 circuits like Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps or Monza or even the one where his home race takes place - Circuit Zandvoort.
Asked to name a circuit that he would like added to the Formula One calendar, the triple World Champions stayed true to his previous statements and named a classical dedicated racing circuit. He said on the Talking Bull podcast:
"For me, Mugello. [Because of the] track layout. There are so many fast corners and in an F1 car, it’s so nice."
Mugello is a 5.245 km (3.259 miles) long circuit with 15 turns that is loved for its "flowing" nature. The circuit is placed in Scarperia e San Piero, Florence, Tuscany, Italy.
Formula One currently already has two Italian races on the calendar, so it seems unlikely for the sport to add one more race in Italy. However, we have already seen one F1 race at the Mugello circuit in 2020.
The race at Mugello was called the Tuscan Grand Prix and was added to the calendar as a substitution for some other circuits in the F1 calendar that could not organize a race due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The triple World Champion had a chance to drive an F1 car around the track back then, and he completed Free Practice sessions and Qualifying but retired from the race after one lap as he got crashed into from behind during the opening lap.
You can watch the replay of the race on YouTube if you type in "2020 Tuscan Grand Prix race highlights." Would you like to see this circuit in F1 again?
