I think this has been floating for a while already but yeah, seems like the Korean GP could be scrapped due to financial issue. Now that they're whining about this, why in the first place they build the circuit on a location that's far away from the place where the communities can afford to attend the race? I do understand that they intended to build a city around the circuit but now it may have killed both the circuit and the ongoing development of the city around it...
 
I suspect that even with the city built around it, the race would have eventually been shut down from noise and pollution complaints. Most race tracks die when an encroaching city approaches over time. This one was planning to have a city around it from the start. :lol: Maybe the new city would have embraced the circuit, I dunno. That's just what history has shown, sadly.
 
If it's a city based on automotive or motorsports, that'd be awesome...In its current state I think it's not suitable enough to hold a race because as I've stated a couple of pages ago, this may well be another Magny Cours. Williams team complained their mechanics and engineers stayed in a hotel about an hour of driving away.

I honestly don't like to see this venue going away because as proven this year it could excite us with tight racing and the layout of the circuit itsn't that bad either.
 
I think next season if they have enough money they should build skyscrapers and theme parks maybe close to the F1 curcuit that would be good in terms of money they would be getting and Spectacular to go and see.

If they have the money, but somehow I'd say please no because that'd result in something like what happened to the Nurburgring... It is a mistake for Korea to host a race a little too early when they realise they don't have the sum of money required to run the whole event. Now this happened.
 
I loved the wheel to wheel racing between Hamilton and Webber. Good stuff!
 
Peter.
Daniel is only beating Liuzzi because of the long string of bad luck he's been having recently. Under normal circumstances, Liuzzi is on top of Daniel.

Well what exactly is your problem with Vergne or Ricciardo? Did you not see the way Vergne dominated the British F3 championship last year? Or the way he came second in the Formula Renault 3.5 championship this year and could have been series champion, were it not for a controversial collision which was not his fault.

Or what about Ricciardo? 1st in 2009 British F3 championship. Second in 2010 formula renault 3.5? What is it about these guys that you feel is "overrated"? Especially when a lot of figures in the paddock rate these guys quite highly.
