I saw a layout of the proposed Miami circuit. I suspect this track will divide opinion.
However, I think it's a very exciting addition to the calendar. It's sort of like a cross between BAKU and a 'curved AVUS', and to my mind will somewhat make up for the loss of the old Hockenheim.
My point is, to make Formula 1 exciting, it should be run on exciting circuits. If Liberty really care about the spectacle, they should race on circuits that provide exciting racing. They could potentially make a 20-25 season based on tracks that produce top racing.
So, I invite my fellow Bantees to think of a potential circuit line-up, or leave comments.
I'm being very 'realistic' about what's possible.
Imagine a season that had all of
Bahrain
China
Baku
Miami
Silverstone
Spa-Francachamps
Monza
Paul Ricard (though they put a stupid chicane on the backstraight)
Montreal Canada
COTA
Sepang (yes, bring it back!)
Mexico City
Istanbul (but convert turns 12/13/14 into one long sweeping final corner)
Nurburgring
Austria-Ring
Interlagos
and maybe upgrade a couple of old classics like
Estoril
Zandvoort
Donington
I also think it may be worth considering a race in New Zealand!
Every fortnight there would be a treat of a race to look forward to. I hope Liberty do consider that certain tracks create good racing and start to eliminate some of the yawners (Abu Dhabi and Socchi come to mind)
