That's the nature of competition. And I always made the mistake to think sport was about finding out who was the best… sometimes it’s close, sometimes one contender is dominant.

It is "just" one piece of a huge real estate development project. The stadium section has to be there because this part of the track the connection between the circuit and the "Ferrari World" theme park. <a href="http://www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/pictures/gallery/Places/Yas-Island.jpg" rel="nofollow">(Picture)</a> And that's also why the chicane has to be there: to be able to get the stands right next to circuit without run-off area between, you need to slow the cars down before the hairpin.

Speaking of which, there are and have been other kings of boredom that make Formula 1 actually Formula Yawn and completely ruin the show. It's not beacause they're bad at their job, it's because they're too good at it. Examples include Ross Brawn and Michael Schumacher in F1, Jimmie Johnson in NASCAR, Scott Dixon in IndyCar and Valentino Rossi in MotoGP.

I cant beleive they have decided to put the last race of the season at a circuit like this - a decision no doubt based on money. I just hope that the title is decided at Interlagos even more now.
