This must have been said millions of times but I will add my bit, new F1 tracks are so boring. Yes, we may get Mr Ecclestone enthusing over how modern they are and how good the facilities are etc etc, but at the end of the day the tracks are featureless clones of one another. Old tracks used to have features like trees and relief. Watching cars speeding through the woods and forests at the older circuits was fantastic. Now you have to be able to see the whole circuit from everywhere, you'd might as well chalk out a circuit on a car park. It is the older more interesting circuits that Bernie wants to get rid of, which surprises me for someone with his long F1 background.
