The Portuguese track, we remember, could enter the calendar immediately after the probable double trip to Italy (Monza e Mugello), with two events scheduled for September 27th and October 4th. A round of "hedging" useful for Liberty Media to cover the holes left free by Singapore, Suzuka and Azerbaijan.
“We are in continuous contact with the FOM and the negotiation is quite concrete”, a circuit spokesperson said. “The possibility of hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Portimao is there. For the moment there is nothing confirmed, but we know that the teams have already given their availability and we are working hard to make this happen."
