Funzo posted:Wait, why is Canada listed as provisional? Is it in danger of not happening? I think they are working something out. I hope they resolve the German GP situation too. Apparently Malaysia and Singapore are going away. Sepang is neat and all but I don't really care if those 2 vanish; hopefully Baku kicks the bucket as well.

I could also do without Bahrain and Sochi.

It's a little too narrow and it gives me Cataluyna vibes, which is not a good thing.

80-91 is worth watching.

'92 is awful, '93 is decent and '94 is mediocre.

I want a French GP at Paul Ricard. Anything but Magny-Cours please.

ImplicitAssembler posted:The old Hockenheim was usually a complete snoozefest. New layout, with all it's faults, is way better. It's not. Thank you for boring-rear end medium downforce circuit #463.

Turkey was good, as are Sepang and COTA. Korea was decent too.

Alain Post posted:Yeah but most F1 tracks suck rear end. Big part of the general loss of spectacle the product suffers from. Also the inability to make the cars work well on the classic circuits (see: Monza).

I tend to focus on places like Hockenheim specifically because circuits like it were already endangered by 2001. Monza and Austria are the last of the really "fast" circuits.

The old layout was awesome but it was pretty apparent why it was changed.

It's (Austria) a good "compromise circuit" like Fuji's 3rd revision prior to mutilation.

Alain Post posted:Paul Ricard owns as a layout and it kind of always looked a bit like a parking lot/highway. Hope they use the long layout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpYd65IdQv0 I hope so.

Let us also reflect on how bad Magny-Cours was. Dijon-Prenois is cool as well, if not on Ricard's level.

Even with the lovely camera you can tell Patrick is getting the poo poo beat out of him.

The FIA would kill anything you liked about those (latter 3) tracks.

Also could F1 cars even pass at Laguna? The Indycar guys had enough trouble doing that.

Alain Post posted:Remember when Lewis was really bad at the start of the year and had a bunch of bad starts? IMO, he should have done less of this He was also poor during the final part of the European leg. The engine failure hurt him, but his relatively poor performances this season put him in a "must win" situation. His starts were also really poo poo. I witnessed it firsthand in Japan.

You could probably put Newey in his own drat car and he'd do pretty well (he is a decent driver, believe it or not).

I'm will not predict the future but I think McLaren switched very early too, and Hasegawa at Honda basically gave up at the beginning of the year when he realized how much Arai hosed everything.

1500quidporsche posted:Seriously watch that F3 doc where Senna's performance absolutely nose dived because halfway through the season Brundle decided he had enough of Senna's bullshit and let him crash. I can easily envision that scenario happening with Max. Did Brundle have a manager or did he represent himself? I can't understand his awful career choices.
