Looks like we should get rid of all these european gp's then. Spa sucks rear end and is a bad track, give me the Yas Marina Circuit any time.

Spa isn't the European GP, we already got rid of Valencia.

I'm going going drop irony mode for a second. I maintain Maldonado is a decent enough driver and deserves to be in the series on talent alone. Then again, I have a thing for fast but accident prone drivers.

There are only three good drivers who have not driven for McLaren.

Nelson Piquet, Jacques Villeneuve and Pastor Maldonado.

Most of Maldonados DNF's this year and last were down to mechanical failures anyway, but agreed i'd rather have a grid of Maldonados than some boring rear end finn/german like Bottas/Rosberg/Heidfeld/Sutil/Kovalainen/Hulkenberg

This is why I used to like big Juan Montoya

At least Montoya was fast, aggressive, good and not crash prone. He'd win poo poo and push MSC (rip) all the time.

Maldonado can't even keep it on track for an entire lap.

Vettel sucks and is a fraud.

I get depressed that Juan didn't turn into a world-beater, he looked insanely good in 2001-2003. He was fat which was FTW. Modern twink drivers who eat grass and weigh 95 pounds FTL.

Mansellesque physique. And yeah Juan was almost there but not quite. I blame the last 3 years of his F1 career on lousy cars.

Uh so apparently the Qataris want a GP. It's supposed to be a street circuit but they may use Losail instead for the time being. I don't watch MotoGP, would it be suitable for F1 cars?

It would be. It is maybe my least favorite circuit ever. It's basically Bahrain, but somehow with less character.

We would all miss Pastor if he was no longer in F1. He's kinda terrible yet somehow redeems himself by driving like it's Deathrace 2000, combined with Lotus being Lotus, which never ceases to entertain.

There will be no bad mouthing of Coloni in this forum. Or the man so awesome his F1 career was failing to Pre-Qualify at all for half a season and then still finding that Andrea Moda was too incompetent for him.
