I guess you guys haven't heard of Finland.



Relevance to F1, there might be Finnish GP in the future, or at least the talk is serious this time:

Didn't Button get attacked by armed men coming to Interlagos one year?

No he didn't - http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-11704802

Some armed men began approaching the car he was travelling in. Some media outlets blew it out of proportion, there was no "attack".

In fact see people in the streets of Sao Paolo with knives is not weird. And with all my fondness to Brazilian people.

really? my mother goes to São Paulo every year to shop in the busiest commerce street in the country and never got stabbed or something like that

there are some dangerous areas but nearly all heavily urbanized places in Brazil are. you just need to be careful and avoid certain places

the issue is that in the first world there are most commonly safe places and few unsafe and in Brazil (and more) there are certain safe places, or 50-50.

Isn't the safety issues related to the residential areas around the Interlagos circuit rather than the safety of the whole São Paulo itself?

You'll only find trouble in Brazil if you're looking for it.


She's not in Footscray is she? Or even worse, Broadmeadows?

yes, everyone in Brazil who gets stabbed is looking for it :D

And scariest place in the dark I found in Melbourne was AC/DC Lane. What a disappointing street. Didn't go and discover the suburbs though.

nothing beats the South Korean GP, which was so remote that teams had to spend the night in brothels.

We all know that one guy. You know, Nobody in your circle ever get mugged, or have stuff stolen from them, or have their house robbed, but whenever it happens it always happens to him in particular for some unknown reason.

usually robbery is done by two men in a motorcycle in order to get a fancier bike or steal somebody in a car

funny that the BMWs and Porsches aren't the most looked vehicles, they go after VWs and Chevy to scrape the parts

I knew 1964 was a close fight but I didn't realise it went down to the final lap. Sounds dramatic.

I still can't see Vettel challenging for the title, though. He'd have to hope for a few Mercedes reliability problems/collisions.
