So the organisers have changed back. I personally would change the course so turn 3 leads up too turn 19 which goes backwards to turn 14 and have a right hander at turn 5 then to turn 9 through to 22. buts thats just me.

And in other f1 news Nick Hiedfield will use Toyotas tf109 to test tyres for pyrelli.

(yes I miss f1 discussions here at gtp)
Paris.

I would prefer if they used the outer circuit. But that would be a lot of money wasted on the infield course.

The perimeter circuit isn't up to the FIA's minimum specifications for length.

And Mercedes have said they probably won't replace Heidfeld with a permanent test driver. If they do feel the need to employ someone for the role, it wil be ona race-by-race basis.

The minimum circuit length allowed by the FIA is 3.5km.

Bahrain's outer circuit measures 3.664km
