"It appears to be a completely transformed place - they are reconstructing the entire track, and it’s a massive project." "I believe they are taking all the right measures - I hope it materializes." Colapinto further noted that Formula 1 is also eager for this return. "The urgency of Formula 1 to have our nation back on the calendar and their strong desire to make it happen are quite pronounced," he stated. In other news, Allan McNish has been appointed as racing director of Audi’s F1 team, assuming trackside responsibilities from the Miami GP.
