A bit off subject but Monaco is the worst track on the F1 roster surrounded by nice buildings and boats!

A "pro" for the track is that a little mistake can lead you hitting the Armco.

These other tracks obviously have big run-off areas, but no second chance around Monaco!

As mentioned before, the monumental cost of lighting against the free light of the sun is ridiculous.

All so people can go.....

"ooooooooh!"

The bit that gets me about this, is that Bernie wants more Middle East tracks (they are willing to pay more) but wants them broadcast at times that suit the Mainland Europe audience (willing to pay more!!).

Bernie, YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT!!!

Also, it's hardly environmentally friendly having that many lights on. We've got a planet to thing about people! I say we boycott it. I for one won't be going to the Singapore GP (money, though, more than ethics).

Broadcast times from the Middle East shouldn't be a problem for European audiences. They're only roughly 4 hours ahead.

I dont get Big Max and Little Bernie - they proclaim how F1's future is outside of Europe and then put on a race in the dark so it is easier for Europeans to watch it!

The mid boggles!

I'm sure they will have a huge grid of backup generator's incase something does go wrong.

Just to really annoy the environmentalists.

True. Just mention that someone is about to sink a disused oil tanker and they'll be off like a shot, or that a rare 150yr old Sminky Pinky tree is going to be cut down for a highway and they'll be chaining themselves to it.

Although, what's the worst a race fan will do? Everyone wants MM sacked, but no-one is actually putting any actions in place.
