Spa, Monza, Silverstone, Montreal! I can not believe what i’m reading!

There will always be “bad” tracks in F1. Reason, because no track is “bad”. But, put simply, some tracks are better than others.

Say we got rid of Catalynia, Valencia and Bahrain

We’d get 3 new tracks, for now, i’ll call them tracks: A, B and C.

If ABC become the best tracks in F1

We lose, what are currently, some average tracks, such as Istanbul, Australia, China and Malaysia.

So, we get 4 new tracks, D, E, F and G.

So in the end we have a season of A-R, with the likes of Spa Monza Interlagos and Silverstone being the worse tracks!

Hopefully this shows how F1 will always have “less favoured” tracks, but I guess they just make you appriciate just how good some tracks really are.

Catalunya and Valencia are both rubbish and need to be replaced.

Hockenheim is fine on a rotation.

I reckon Suzuka could back onto a rotation because despite being a spectacular track it is not a producer of great races due to overtaking difficulties, it needs to stay on the calender though so fix the last section of Fuji and put them on a rotor.

Bahrain and AbuDhabi on rotation? Pweaze? Not going to happen obviously but both fine so long as Bahrain sheds the new section.

Frankly I hate Singapore, really, two hours of generally boring racing, what could be worse? An even if it rains they’ll probaly have to cancell, sigh. But the city seems to have really taken to the whole thing, so new track? :) :D ?

Korea looks rubbish but give it a chance guys stop being so judgemental.

The Hungaroring is also rubbish, replace it with a low downforcer, we’ve got enough super downforcers.

Silverstone and Monza off?!? Those are just the kind of historic and classic venues we need to keep on the F1 calendar.

No country in Europe needs to have two grand prix per year. If there are two circuits Bernie wants to go race at, then it has to be in rotation (or bring back non-championship races in the pre-season as part of testing).

Of the tracks currently in the championship – Barcelona and Bahrain would be mine to ditch. And I’m looking forward to Austin, but with fingers crossed it delivers on what it’s promising so far.

Make Barcelona and Valencia share the Spanish Grand Prix. Maybe get rid of Hungary too.

Bahrain under the old layout is fine.

Silverstone and Monza surely have to stay (I definately wasn’t condoning their removal, just in case anyone thought that).

We did a poll on this earlier this year, actually.

The top three (or bottom three, I suppose) were:

Bahrain – 65%
Valencia – 60%
Istanbul – 30%

See: Which races should Ecclestone cut? (Poll)

On that poll 30 people voted Spa and 74 voted Montreal.

I have no idea why you would do that

Hard to believe Istanbul got more votes than the Hungaroring.

Silly how many votes Bahrain got as well, especially if they get rid of the new section, people just voted on 1 race, even Spa can be boring guys. The only two tracks I know almost garanteed to thrill are Canada and Intergalos.

Istanbul’s a great track China is alright generally.
