Good hats though.

Yes, I've got a photo of me in one on my birthday a few years ago. That Mexican restaurant has gone feet up though, maybe it's a sign.

 

[teabagyokel]

No reason to stage a race there. To be fair, Bill Boddy, it's quite unlikely that any country without problems is going to host a Grand Prix because they'd have to have a politician bonkers enough to pay all that money to His Eccleship.

 

[Il_leone]

Bernie would host a grand prix anywhere as long as it came up with the money to do so unless it was Syria or Egypt

India is definitely gone from 2014 but back 2015

I would not be surprised if Korea goes because the organisers paid too much to please Bernie and it has not economically generated the area as promised

Austria via Red Bull will be back
Mexico via Carlos Slim and apparently there is a MExicon rep that helps Bernie manage the F1 calendar seems a good candidate
Russia they may put back to 2015 because of the Winter Olympics

Good hats though.

What is the name of that little mouse that is always running around really quickly?

 

[Slyboogy]

Speedy Gonzales.

 

[teabagyokel]

Esteban Gutierrez

 

[Mephistopheles]

Speedy Gonzales.

No, he's a little mouse and he's always in a hurry running around everywhere, ahkk what is his name?...

 

[gethinceri]

Does he go Clip, Clippetty Clop on the stair?

 

[Mephistopheles]

No he's a Mexican mouse.

 

[gethinceri]

Does he go Clip, Clippetty Clop on la escalera?

 

[RasputinLives]

so Mr Whiting has been to take a look at the Mexican circuit and it also looks like it'll be a Tilke face lift.

[rufus_mcdufus]

Arriba arriba, andale arriba!

 

[Greenlantern101]

Class

And for those of you who don't know what the original layout looks like it's this:

And in a Clip the apex exclusive, here's the first view of the new Tilke designed circuit.

 

[teabagyokel]

cider_and_toast - It will be designed with Hermann's usual principles:

[cider_and_toast]

Pretty much not far off the first draft as shown above then teabagyokel

Just needs the addition of the traditional "Herman bit"

 

[gethinceri]

I think it needs a couple more recta.

 

[Mephistopheles]

It will have a couple more when Bernie and his mate Flav arrive at the circuit gethinceri

 

[Bill Boddy]

I take it that the designer was familiar with Monza.
