Fan backlash to Vietnam GP announcement
Fan backlash to Vietnam GP announcement
Liberty Media's attempt to expand Formula 1's global appeal hasn't always been well-received by some fans, and it was no different following confirmation that 2020 will feature a Vietnam Grand Prix for the first time. Whether the addition of another street circuit, neglect of more classic venues, or just chasing the money – F1's owners once again came in for criticism after Wednesday's announcement.

They forgot the real racing tracks, with history and pedigree, just for the money. It sucks, another street circuit, that nobody knows if it's gonna deliver, why remove Baku if they wanted a street circuit so much? — Edgar González C. (@EdGonCas7) November 7, 2018
How about returning to circuits with actual motorsport history? Circuits that had great racing and were popular. Nah, all about that money. — TheBassist. (@Steve65462) November 7, 2018
