Is F1 hinting at a return to Indy?

Looks more like Daytona to me. High banking and you can see the pit exit lane for the road course in the background. The double yellow lines are also a Daytona thing.

I’ve always thought that having one oval track race, like Indy or Daytona would be a very interesting addition to the F1 schedule. It would shuffle things up like the Glen and Sonoma does for NASCAR and provide a totally different type of racing challenge for the drivers and teams.

From what recall, F1 had to run reinforced side pods for Indy to protect the drivers from impacts on the banking. When they stopped running Indy they were able to put that weight elsewhere.  That’s one of the things that make Indycars heavier than F1.
