FIA president Jean Todt has welcomed the return of two historic races to the Formula 1 calendar for 2018 and is excited by plans for expansion elsewhere.
This season sees the German GP back at Hockenheim, which hosts a race biannually along with the first French GP in 10 years, making its comeback at a former venue in Paul Ricard, something Todt sees as "very good".
Beyond this year too, the Formula One Group lead by commercial director Sean Bratches is also looking worldwide with a second US race in Miami, Argentina looking for their first Grand Prix since 1998 and a street event in Vietnam all mentioned.
"I would love to see a race in Argentina, as the country is very special in motorsport with Juan Manuel Fangio and Carlos Reutemann, they are heroes of motor racing in Argentina," Todt said. "In Latin America, Argentina is one of the best countries to host an F1 race.
"Vietnam, I would be happy to have a new race in Asia, it is a developing country and to bring F1 to developing countries would be very good. If we can put it all together then why not?" he added.

Holland and Denmark have also been touted, but this comes as the future of F1's most historic races in Italy, Britain and Germany are all under threat with their iconic venues all struggling to burden the cost.
With initial claims by owners Liberty Media that the season could jump to 25 races now easing - and race organisers also looking for better contracts - it will be interesting to see how it shakes out in the next few years.
