I think I've said this before, but it's worth saying again: the first thing I think of when I see these pictures is Ken Adam. He was the set designer on those old James Bond films, the man who created the famous hollowed-out volcano lair.

And that's the way Formula One should be: the sport is larger than life, and the circuits should match that. Now, I'm not saying facilities and architecture should take precedent over the actual circuit, but if we have a great circuit, then why shouldn't we have great-looking facilities to match?
And if the circuit is bland, at least it gives us something to look at ...
