If they brought the European GP to Britain I'd love to see it being swapped between Donnington and Brands Hatch. :)

Lets go even crazyier and say lets swap the European Grand prix between every motor racing circuit in Europe... everyone gets their fair share then.

Like Catalunya's last corner... what the hell have they done, they took away the best corner on the whole damn circuit.

And the principle behind the chicane has failed as well, still hardly seen any overtaking on the main straight since Mansell and Senna went wheel-to-wheel down it in 1991, even turbo-era cars would struggle to overtake at Catalunya.

One of the greatest moments in the sports history...... and we havent seen anything like it since, never to do so again.

I for one support the move to having multiple night races and also more street races.

Anything to add some excitement to the tracks. So many boring Tilke-penned tracks which are very similar...Anything to liven things up. I would liek to see some European night races too, just because a change is as good as a rest and watching a Grand Prix at night for once would be interesting.

F1 goes retro... the British Grand Prix at Night with old, pop up headlamps.... now that would be interesting.

That 1991 Grand Prix was the only time that track has produced anything exciting, in fact, the race was pretty average save for that overtaking maneuver. Ruining the only decent corner on the track and adding the chicane before the straight has not worked. Drivers and spectators alike find the circuit mind numbing. It's a good test track. That's what I would like to see it has.

The only think I do like about the Spanish Grand Prix is the party atmosphere that comes from it. I like watching the GP2 race after quali and before the race... it builds the excitment up nicely.

There has only been a decent atmosphere at it (but I wouldn't compare it to Monza, Silverstone, Spa, Monaco etc.) in the last two or three years because of Alonso. Before then, Spain didn't really worry about too much. At Jerez, the stadia were virtually empty. I think motorbike racing is the thing in Spain.
