Many teams are based in England.
So whether or not F1 visits England, there always will be a lot of interest (and therefore a lot of money) coming from England.
I would think that under the present situation, F1 can also be assured of getting a lot of interest from Germany, Italy and France.
So if F1 had to drop 7 European races, it might be a sound (short term) strategy to drop the races from England, Germany, Italy and France.

If the above is correct, a "key strategic European race" would be a race in another big European country. Preferably not a poor country.
So that would probably make Barcelona the most "important" European race.
