Worst. Idea. Ever.

Not because PI is not a sensational circuit, it is the best racing circuit in the world IMHO.

Changes to the circuit to make it suitable for F1, however, stand every chance to ruin the circuit as it is. Just look at how depressing the MotoGP races are at the purpose-built F1 circuits (such as the now-gone Chinese round), especially when compared to the same class at PI.

It’s bad enough they put the stupid go-kart track in the middle of the campground – let alone F1 spec’ing the actual track.

*the*

But, I should have added that I do hope Albert Park can continue to host the race, as I’ve always thought it’s one of the better circuits F1 visits.

I think Phillip Island would be an excellent choice, as it’s a nice fast-flowing circuit. Hopefully they don’t alter they layout too much.
