Russia is a big market to go into so it is good.

Yes, it's a centrally planned economy.

From each way out of proportion to their ability.
To each according to them being Bernie Ecclestone.

Martin Brundle was asked if Hermann Tilke could make an interesting circuit and why does Berine go back to him even though his works have been horrific. Brundle said he knows Tilke personally (pretty much lost it there) and that nowadays the safety issues are big and talked about big run-off areas and stuff like that, pretty much blamed it on the rules. Do you believe it?


And what should a race track include? As we've seen technical and medium-speed sectors are boring and it's impossible to overtake there. The best overtaking track should be either Monza or Australia so a straight with a big braking zone after that?

Partly. The run offs mean that a lot of mistakes aren't punished any more - compare that with say Suzuka last year where they still had a lot of grass and gravel...

Nah, that's what they try and do at every track now and THAT is boring. We need more high speed tracks back on the calendar!
