    Why are we going from Malaysia to Bahrain, and back to China. Isn't it cheaper to fly from Malaysia to China, and then to Bahrain and return to Europe?

    I know
    Even when the WDC is done and dusted, Brazil still brings a sense of occasion and drama.

    OH BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE ABU DHABI HAS A NICE HOTEL.

    China has a National Holiday the week they scheduled the Bahrain race. Since it is an observance of the passing of ancestors, it is common for families to visit the gravesites. Result would be low attendance for the race. China has a deep respect for Ancestry.

    In the US, the closest thing would be Halloween(All Souls Day) and here it is just an excuse to have a big party & get drunk(and eat lots of candy!)

    It should be positively crazy in Austin for the USGP. Downtown gets wild on Halloween on its own. Add FanFest & 6th street together, and well......

    The circuit is even pitching that folks get in costume for the race.

    Maybe im being partial here, but why would you possibly not have the finale in interlagos?

    Even this season when everything was decided and done with way before the last race, Interlagos was a refreshing race, after about 4 or 5 races that were boring and predictable, in interlagos it was once again full of possibilities, the rain would threaten to drop whenever it was time to change tyres.

    The only reason is money, and it's ok, Yas island was built around the idea of racing, and it's great, a dream come true, oh except for the F1 gp track! the most important part, they got completely wrong, apart from the clever idea of having the boxes exit via a tunnel (which i always thought was pretty cool) the layout is so boring, it simply doesn't produce good racing. and this could be changed, they can have different layouts, hell, if they built that entire island from nothing but sand, and in record time, would it be too much trying and banking some corners? have Tilk draw them angles, levels and degrees the same way newey draw his cars, with a pen a paper instead of a computer. that should be enough to make the track produce a true race.

    he art isn't in never falling but in always getting up.
