 * Keep: consensus at WP:F1 says that it is acceptable for future season articles to be created up to eighteen months in advance provided that the article is sustained by multiple references and contains "new" content; ie, it is not simply repeating content from other articles. The article itself has been carefully worded to avoid violating WP:CRYSTAL; you will note that it never says future events will happen, only that they are planned or scheduled. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 13:48, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep as this event is notable and almost certain to take place and everything already written is reliably sourced, and the article does not contain any personal speculation or opinion. The reasons offered for deletion do not persuade me with WP:TOOSOON being an essay concerning articles about actors and films and WP:CRYSTAL explicitly allows coverage of anticipated future events, such as this one, which are verifiable and for which the subject matter is of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. -- de Facto (talk). 14:59, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep – Article already has relevant sourced information. I mean, we already have United States presidential election, 2020 based on already having sourced and relevant information. United States Man (talk) 15:06, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete All in all, I feel the consensus from the previous deletion discussion for this article still applies. So much so that this could actually have been nominated for speedy deletion. There simply isn't enough news specifically for the 2018 season. There certainly is sourced content in this article, but the only bit of it that is news specifically for the 2018 season is the return of the French Grand Prix. I feel that is not enough to warrant this article yet. The focus of the sport lies with 2017 season right now and that is were ours should be as well.Tvx1 15:15, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:CRYSTAL - "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place". It would be even more notable if it didn't go ahead.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 18:18, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep as expected and planned future event per WP:CRYSTAL DarjeelingTea (talk) 19:07, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
