Why do F1 tracks change?

Formula 1 circuits often change due to a mix of commercial, logistical, and sporting reasons. Tracks might be added for new markets, dropped due to financial issues, or removed if they don't meet F1's evolving standards. The return of Portimao and Istanbul Park, and the removal of Zandvoort, reflects these ongoing shifts in the sport's global footprint.
