Thailand wants a street circuit similar to the one in Singapore.

please no!
No more fancy Asian GPs in a country where nobody cares, taking the place of good European tracks but not Spain, Spain or Hungary.

Hopefuly better than Middle East and China shit tracks... Doesn't disturbe me if the San Marino get return. With France, but at Magny-Cours, and with no alternance with Belgium, which must stay.

Personally I wouldn't want Imola back. The races there never entertained me.

Imola is a great track, However it was never a good track for racing.
Even the changes they made a few years back don't seem to have really improved the racing based on the races I've seen there in various categories.

Same with Magny-Cours, Good track but terrible for racing.
Paul Ricard would be a better French track for racing if they ran the full layout with the long straght, However it looks shit now because of the fact its just a sea of tarmac run-off with ridiculous striped everywhere.

Agreed. Countries in Asia take F1 like a fad, go somewhere like South America (thinking Argentina) or Scandanavia (thinking Finland) where supporters won't be over F1 in 3 years.



Finland? LOLROFLMAO!

*cough* Seriously though, none of the current tracks in Finland have any kind of FIA grade for openwheel racing. The newest track was build in early 90's and has been strugling to get required environment permissions to hold any kind of activity on the area. And that's the situation with the older tracks too. And all the projects to have even an internationally capable Formula Ford or GT4-grade track have failed. Then our governments through the time have never had any kind of interest to put even a dime on the track projects.

So, unfortunately, no Finnish GP, probably never going to happen, all the projects so far have failed, even the once that were just for updating the current tracks for F1.

If you want new European event, you probably have take Romanian and Bulgarian F1 projects more seriously. Unfortunately. :(

Made me laugh: Barrichello says in an interview with a Dutch F1-magazine that it's possible for him to be World-Champion next year! http://www.formule1.nl/nieuws/detail/ba ... reldtitel/

Imola was awesome until 1994 brought changes.

Haven't seen enough racing on the new layout to judge it but I still think they should ditch the Villeneuve chicane and create a passing spot into Tosa again.

Vettel told Playboy that he's considering retiring from F1 and doing something else when his contract ends in 2014.

I think a lot of sports people say they'll retire early, but never end up doing.

First time he read any text in a Playboy I guess? Alonso said the same after 2006 (or 2005) but is still around. Only guy to really leave was Kimi :P
