Abu Dhabi was awesome! And I'm pretty sure that viewership for the first race of 2022 will be significantly higher than for the first race of 2021.
Bahrain to remain on F1 schedule until 2036
Formula 1 has confirmed that Bahrain will stay on the calendar until 2036 inclusive following agreement with the promoter, the Bahrain International Circuit, to extend its contract.www.pitpass.com
One shudders to think of the sort of money that has changed hands especially as Bahrain will be determined to retain its prestigious opening slot on the calendar.
...
Of course, the big question is, will F1 even be around in 2036... highly unlikely if there are any repeats of the Abu Dhabi fiasco.
What would you consider worse than 2021 Abu Dhabi?
Don't shoot the messenger, I was quoting Pitpass.com
Those are the real concerns over F1's future, not what happened in Abu Dhabi.

Right, but the reason we're not discussing indy 2005 is because it's 7 years old. Abu Dhabi still lives on 1) until FOM announce the outcome of their investigation on Monday and 2) until a new DWC is announced.
2005 blew one Race and cost F1 a bad rep in America.
Lol. F1 is healthier now (financially and following) than it has ever been.
There's no way you could measure the impact of the last race of the last season before the first race of the current season.
And yet, here we are. A couple of months later still talking about the last race. As are millions others. Do you think F1 could have scripted a better way of keeping fans/followers/public engaged during the off season than Lulu's little tantrums?
