Sorry folks, this is something i post elsewhere, just not sure what everyone else thinks.
I was impressed with Abu Dhabi, how could you not be? But the race, on the whole, (except last few laps) was largely, rubbish.
I just don't get it.
Yes, the whole development is impressive, with virtually unlimited funds, it should be, without question.
But the circuit itself gave me nothing much. No soul, no special feeling. In truth, apart from the last five laps, it was quite boring.
Turkey, Bahrain, Shanghai & Malaysia have more about them than Yas Marina.
A nice long straight, I'll give it that much, but it's not a proper circuit & not a proper street circuit either. They've gone for a sort of in-between the two, and I feel it doesn't quite cut-it.
As I say, unbelievably impressive, but as far as the circuit goes, it's no Spa, Suzuka, Monza or Monaco.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but this kind of circuit could have been designed by Walt Disney and be the latest theme park in Florida. (Now there's an old idea which was actually thought about once...)
Or maybe I just dislike the whole UAE. Oil, and more oil is how these people have become so rich. An almost limitless pot of money.
Ecclestone will inevitably go to places like this rather than Silverstone et al, because they have revenue to make the eyes water.
I see Korea on the provisional grid for 2010, now there's a surprise ......
I also foresee some F1 fans who are over 30 turning off.
Sorry... Am I an my own?
