Why does every race it seems is sponsored by a Government? CCP controls Pirelli (ChemChina is biggest shareholder) and Lenovo (CCP) sponsors races. Gulf Air, Aramco, Etihad, and Qatar Airways sponsor races also.

Traditionally, it was the last European race, but Azerbaijan will be the last this season. The eight rounds remaining include three North America (Austin, Ciudad de México, Las Vegas), one South America (Interlahos), one Europe (Baku), and three Asia (Singapore, Lusail, Yas).

I’m going to say it’s because of the astronomical amount of money that F1 wants to show up. They are a HUGE MONEY GRUBBING ENTITY.

Ugggh, is Lenovo Chinese? Been looking at getting old Lenovo (like 15-25 years old laptops) laptop cheap cuz supposedly they are bui.t like a tank, and really easy to upgrade and add ram and drives and such. Never even gave it a thought that they were Chinese or not.
