While not as busy as Canadian professional hockey teams that may play 82 games a year, the F1 oddity is that European F1 circuits are falling off.
The FIA and team owners are happy to put on a show in locations on the planet that cannot boast a century of motor racing activity, (Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia,) or even a minimal tradition of car ownership among the denizens (Turkey, Azerbaijan).

For me the whole F1 'buzz' has been diluted lately. I've always maintained that 12 - 16 races per
year is the ideal number. That makes sure every race is an occasion and I look forward to them more.

Let's take 10 weeks off between seasons, and have them on average
every 2 weeks. (52-10)/2 = 21. Drop one in summer for a mid-season
break. So 20/year works for me. Much more than that and it becomes
a bit "stuffed". In particular as not all of the races are even
worth having on the calendar in the first place even in sparser
times.

With 25 races proposed for 2023, "There has also
been disquiet that the sheer volume of races was

As I recall, the world of motor sport was satisfied
that Jim Clark proved himself to be a world champion,
by contesting ten races during the year.
For me the whole F1 'buzz' has been diluted lately. I've
always maintained that 12 - 16 races per year is the
ideal number. That makes sure every race is an
occasion and I look forward to them more.
Let's take 10 weeks off between seasons, and have them on
average every 2 weeks. (52-10)/2 = 21. Drop one in summer
for a mid-season break. So 20/year works for me. Much
more than that and it becomes a bit "stuffed". In
particular as not all of the races are even worth having
on the calendar in the first place even in sparser times.

From what I've seen this season the races are well attended.
Any business model will tell you to expand in this climate.
'Well attended' and profitable rarely equate.
It equates to larger "race sanctioning" fees; F1's second
biggest revenue stream after TV rights.
And 'profitable' for whom? For how long will the subsidies last?"
Do you ever feel like you've lost the thread?
You should.
No more than you feel clueless from the start to the end.

All the evidence points to your advanced case of Dunning-Kruger.
