The cricketing equivalent of the Hungaroring, it would seem.It's a shame that the owners of F1 don't have any consideration for the long-term health of the sport and are, apparently, only interested in short-term profits and a quick sale.The teams, at least, have a vested interest in big crowds, since they are trying to sell products on behalf of their sponsors. People say it's all about TV these days, but even TV viewers notice empty grandstands. The fans of teams like Wigan, Blackburn and Middlesbrough are gently mocked by commentators and fellow fans for their half-empty stadia; F1 similarly will do its reputation no good at all by continuing to race in places where nobody could care less.</blockquote>
