Probably, though I don't see the point of heading off to these countries where nobody watches. Korea looks as unfinished as it did last year, I get the distinct impression that a numer of countries will look at the cost of hosting vs the income received and tell Bernie to sod off.

Back to 16 races in 4 years. Free to air TV for all etc.

Man, I'm spectacularly grumpy this morning.

Bernie will have to drop how much money he demands to ensure they keep the races.

Although I do hope it goes back to free to air TV but can't see it.

The world continues down a road of financial oblivion, the sport will have to do something to survive, he's going to have to cut costs and the deal sky have got sounds like a load of shit anyway. The Koreans must look at what they have and think 'wtf?'

I was looking at Seb's previous track history before he got to F1, the comparison between him and Schmacher is uncanny. Neither hardly set the world on fire in any prior formula and then they get to F1 and bang! it's like they've been there a lifetime.

Having a look at where Yeongam is; the opposite end of the country in the middle of nowhere hundreds of miles away from Seoul, where I think most of the people in Korea live. It's hardly the best place to introduce the sport to a country.

Your hardly convincing me any further.

These newer long haul races hardly have the grandstands packed to the gunnels.

It is a fantastic circuit, one of Tilke's best.

Last year was wet and had a lot of safety car so we didn't see it properly.

This year we could see how good it is for racing.

If Tilke circuits get better and better it will be interesting to see India this year and USA next year.

Loads more places are queuing up for F1 races, Russia is coming on board for instance. So Bernie can still keep charging top dollar.

Turkey was just terrible for local support, yet it was a good circuit.

Malaysia is popular and is a terrible circuit.

China is popular, but the government busses them in.

India should be busy.

Not long been up, is it worth watching this on the iPlayer today (when I could be playing Forza 4/Dark Souls)?

Maybe just the highlights show, when they get that up. There were quite a few exciting moments, but also a lot of not much happening.
