They apparently don’t want to move their date. If they could move to March or April, then you could have all the Far-Eastern hemisphere races in the spring and the regionalisation would be complete on that end.

What about crowning a European or Middle-East F1 champion for any given season.

Well, that's a goal, but I'm more of a classic. It seems that sustainability came to Formula One. I still remember when the auspices of cigarettes disappeared. I just hope there is no Formula One for electric cars.

Net zero is laughably impossible for F1, no matter how much "offsetting" they do. In spite of all this, I do welcome F1 doing as much as possible to actually lessen their impact, just don't care to hear all the BS

Regarding some specific aspects, not much argument against racing in Montreal in May anymore, given how warm that month has mostly been in the recent past, especially the latter half, but even towards the middle, i.e., a week after when Miami GP occurs next season, while for the LV GP, a weekend before Thanksgiving weekend seemed to be the choice for the time being, but Thanksgiving weekend itself also proved to be okay, after all, although still a bit silly to have that event separately from COTA-Mexico City.
Finally, China's complicated custom logistics are the actual reason for not holding the Japanese & Chinese GPs on consecutive weekends rather than precaution for an entirely non-existent chance of another COVID cancellation, given China dropped its zero policy last January.
Chinese GP has simply been unable to form a double-header with any other circuit regardless of travel distance for a little while, but hopefully, again someday so that race calendar formations would be even easier, although this doesn't mean the Australian & Japanese GPs couldn't form a double-header, as a standalone Australian GP is another negative aspect & something even some drivers or at least Russell has pointed out.
