Agree. As a Chinese living in shanghai, I would even trade the Shanghai circuit with Sepang. As an f1 fan, it's cool to have a GP in my hometown, but I really don't like the Shanghai circuit. Miss Malaysian Sepang.

True

Sadly that without local supports and funds, plus with the **erhem** maintenance of some parts, SIC loses it's F1 place I still really hope that Sepang is back into the calendar of F1

What are stupid names for this GP, Emilia-Romania and Eifel? Why not classic San Marino GP and German GP?

FEDSJ he meant that the GPs wont be called the “San Marino GP” and “German GP”

@FEDSJ Yes. Although Nurburgring differentiated between German GP and European GP

FEDSJ yes

вася васильев I think the reason it’s called the Efiel Grand Prix and not German Grand Prix is because someone owns the rights to the name “German Grand Prix” so they can’t use it. I have no idea why they aren’t using San Marino as the title of the Imola race

Yes....it would be nice to see Sepang back.

Yep, Sepang is nostalgic for me for some reason

2026 here we go

He's got a couple bad ones, but in general, his circuits are pretty good. Bahrain was Tilke, COTA, the updates to Hockenheim were great. He has some bad ones, like Sochi and Abu Dhabi, but to be fair, Sochi was an example of business being put ahead of good racing. It wasn't Tilke who decided it should be built around the Olympic stadium, which I think was the real killer of Sochi, since he was very much held back by the area he had to work with

@@lewis8552 Grass runoff is a terrible idea and is only done to save cost in areas where runoff is very rarely necessary. Kvyat once had a terrible crash at Suzuka because his left rear clipped the grass. He wasn't even on the grass, he just touched it with a tire, got wheelspin, and spun it into the wall. If you go fully onto the grass, through a lockup or anything like that, you can't slow down and you can't steer because slicks don't grip grass. It gets even worse if you're talking a wet-dry race. Spain '96 proved that gravel can sometimes be worse than tarmac when it comes to slowing a car down, which is the purpose of a runoff area

@@filmandfirearms That's why you would have grass then tarmac runoff instead of grass to gravel then wall. Grass is great for punishing drivers, it pulls the driver off the track and slows them down. Kyvats crash was more worse generally because of the lack of space between the grass and the wall, the gravel causing the the roll wasn't ideal as well. I don't mind gravel but I can see why its generally not the best(especially for bike riders), grass can be a good deterrent if used properly.

@@lewis8552 So you want drivers to slide across the grass into the wall every time they make a small mistake? There's a reason they don't use grass as a runoff very often. There is no grip on grass and a tiny mistake gets turned into a DNF and possible driver injury. It would be particularly bad if you had brake failure going into one of Tilke's signature hard braking zones. Gravel, when dry, provides a ton of friction and that slows the car down, but grass doesn't provide any, and astroturf is even worse. You'd be flying into the wall at nearly 300 km/h

@@filmandfirearms can you propose smth then?

Fuji was great but the facilities were shocking. The may have got better now but in 2007 it was heavily criticised because it was run by Toyota and only allowed Toyota flags, annoying the fans.

@Peavii Of course. Sochi is a circuit full of flowing corners And straights. These corners need to be driven to The edge so you can maximize them but The slightest of oversteer And unbalancement can you send you off which makes following a car really Hard nowadays. The overtaking oportunity is there especially after The straights And The first corner of sector 3.

It’s lowest level of politicking, while it was built under a (BSP) Party’s tenure and carried out inaugural 2011 race, a year later the other (SP) Party which when came into power hated it as it was located in former CM’s hometown and taxed it even more (Entertainment Tax 300%), the Central Govt. being run by a third Party never relaxed its Customs Duty on logistical import of Cars, Race Gear and Stuff, to a tune of 100%. It wasn’t built on Public Exchequer’s Money, it was built by a Private Group named “Jaypee Associates”, which used to carry out FIA F1 Race Events on its own expense, no backing or aid by the Govt, a single race used to cost them over INR 1 Billion (13.6 Million USD), which is quite a lot of money for a Private Entity. I want F1 to return to Jaypee Sports’ beautiful Buddh International Circuit designed by Deutschland’s Hermann Tilke, therefore I would like to urge all the F1 fans to come together and put pressure on the Govts both at Centre and State level to revoke illegitimate taxes on this Sporting Event, which will eventually help tourism and development of the region.
