And I believe that is what they were implying in the article...
Grand Prix History 101
Monza - 66 Grand Prix
Monaco - 63 Grand Prix
Silverstone - 50 Grand Prix
Spa - 49 Grand Prix
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - 37 Grand Prix
Interlagos - 34 Grand Prix
Hockenheim - 31 Grand Prix
Argue about configuration and better tracks (Suzuka), but the general racing fan looks at these 4 as the "Upper Class" or "Most Prestigious"
