I tells ya, it's a tough choice. Make the ticket costs cheaper and get Bernie to cut his share to make the sport more accessible!

Abu Dhabi circuit owners actually missed one very importand detail - track configuration which allows overtaking. Forget about PR-friendly phrases about massive effort and bla-bla-bla. I managed to chat with a few F1 press officers in Jerez and they all said that the facility was impressive but the track leaves a lot to be desired. Don't forget about the fans who are watching the race on TV, I watched it 5 times and tried to convince myself the race was any good but I just couldn't see anything exciting about it apart from Button/Webber slow duel in the end and maybe Kobayshi driving style. Get rid of Tilke (tracks) and the quality of F1 racing will improve immediately. Hmm… Abu Dhabi circuit owners actually missed one very importand detail – track configuration which allows overtaking.
