F1 is routinely called a "circus" or the "F1 circus" in the US and UK since probably the late 70s or earlier. There's no mistake here.

Lol.

Edit: Italian too, it seems:

Yeah, I also thought that was failed "Engrish" at first, but it appears there's some level of usage instead of "circuit."

A circuit is a race track. The "F1 circus" refers to this:
QuoteWhen there is only three days between the conclusion of the race on Sunday and the whole circus starting up again the next Thursday it requires meticulous planning and organisation from everybody involved to make sure that everything arrives at the right place at the right time and is accessible in the right order to have the entire paddock ready for the next event.
