By Aniket Kuila

10. Nurburgring (Germany - Nordschleife)

The Green Hell, incredibly demanding and very long, though it hasn't staged an F1 race for quite some time.

9. Hockenheimring (Germany)

An historic track while its present-day, much shorter format is far away from its high-speed past.

8. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (Canada)

A fast layout with heavy braking zones, the infamous "Wall of Champions," and great racing.

7. Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya (Spain)

A modern classic that provides a stern test for both cars and drivers, and is very important for pre-season testing.

6. Interlagos (Brazil)

Counter-clockwise circuit, unpredictable weather, and a crowd of passionate people about their sport.

5. Suzuka (Japan)

With a unique figure-eight layout, it is challenging and technical, and is loved by passionate Japanese fans.

4. Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium)

Long, fast, and exhilarating, it lies in the Ardennes Forest and is famed for Eau Rouge/Raidillon.

2. Monaco

A glamorous street circuit testing almost perfection, it is one of the most prestigious races with an immensely rich history.

1. Monza (Italy)

Known as the "Temple of Speed," it is the oldest track currently on the calendar with long straights and Tifosi (Ferrari fans) who are truly passionate.
