why?Frankly, good.
Because it was yet another shady deal being done in a country with zero motorsport interest that will die out in ~3-5 years time (eg. India, Korea etc), with government money being spent on the lavish facilities when 25% of the population live in poverty. With regard to actual track, it was yet another street circuit where the cars cannot race and would have been a procession - even if they did magically fix the current aero wake issues overnight. Finally, 19+ races a year is too many so knocking one off that is going in the right direction.why?

Perhaps they're looking at the popularity of the classic tracks used this year with both fans and drivers and are considering other historic tracks?
I could see them trying to find another US track. I don't think any other than COTA are FIA grade 1, but there's several that could feasibly be upgraded with some changes to be F1 suitable.

How about Chile and the Parque O'Higgins? How did that fare in Formula E? But with motorsport so popular in Scandinavia, perhaps the Kymi Ring is a better choice.

Scandinavia? I'd vote for an Ice track and new Pirelli studded "super extra really we mean it this time" soft tyres
