Future F1 Grands Prix

soccerman17 - An active volcano would be right up Tilke's street as the 'feature' his circuits tend to have, e.g. shaped like a character, under lights, a tower or a big hill.

Azerbaijan yes, France no. Another reason I'm loosing interest in F1. Doesn't Bernie realise France was home to the first GP ever held. The man has no appreciation of the sports history, mind you he can't even find his way out of revolving doors.

Potro de los funes (not sure on spelling) is around a volcano, a dormant one mind, and the track looks spectacular. They could employ a bit of a light and magic show to spray molten lava.

Joking aside, the track looks epic!

With modern technology the cars could be put in front of any background you want. I think that a Hawaiian volcano running into the sea would be good. But to be honest I would rather see an exciting race with a dull background.

How about C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate? That's be cool.

It looks like something out of Gran Turismo. Bernie are you reading this? Argentine GP please!

That looks stunning! Wow!

There would be too many cars towing caravans driving around it looking for a nice place to stop for picnic.

And they would be getting held up by Max!

I've seen Potrero de los Funes before and it looks unbelievable. I watched some of the FIA GT race held there on YouTube once and the racing looked pretty entertaining too!

 

[Greenlantern101]

Its almost twice the length of Monaco. Would FOM have enough cameras to cover the extra length? They would also need almost twice the normal amount of marshals. Can't see that happening.

 

[F1Yorkshire]

It's shorter than Spa which is 4.3 miles compared to 3.8 for Potrero. Only half a mile longer than the average Tilkedrome

 

[teabagyokel]

Greenlantern101 - But Monaco is half of everywhere else...

 

[F1Yorkshire]

If they did ever race there though they would have to make sure Maldonado's car comes complete with buoyancy aids or make sure he's wearing armbands at least!

 

[The Pits]

They can't race there, as Bernie's secret bunker is under the lake.

 

[FB]

SHHH!

 

[siffert_fan]

I wonder when Bernie will add Syria and Ukraine to the list? In the former, the cars could spend the race dodging air strikes and in the latter, all of the marshalls would be wearing ski masks and speaking Russian (although having a second Russian GP might not be allowed).

I wonder after the terrible events with that plane, whether the race might be cancelled now.

 

[teabagyokel]

LifeW12 - The Bahraini government was slaughtering its own population before it got a race cancelled, and then it returned. No chance.

 

[F1Yorkshire]

Rumour has it that there will be an announcement tomorrow confirming Mexico for 2015
