   The prime minister here has announced that Portugal will apply for a return   
   to the F1 calendar in 2027 at the Portimao track in Algarve. This comes   
   after four seasons without a race since the last ones in 2020 and 2021 which   
   were held here due to the pandemic after 24 years without a race.   
      
   This time the government seems to be serious about leveraging tourism with   
   the event and is ready to pay the fee. There are some question marks, like   
   which race it will replace or whether it will become one of those rotating   
   tracks, nevertheless the deal seems to be more or less secured.   
      
   What do you guys think about the track? Surely it's a nice layout in qualy,   
   quite popular among most of the drivers and fans. That said, the racing   
   wasn't stellar with either a too long or too short DRS zone. Maybe with more   
   time to find the ideal compromise and the 2026 rules it could also provide   
   great races...
