Re: Sam Bird??
Can't see him staying in GP2, his stock might fall. No seat at Mercedes. Williams isn't likely, but maybe in for Force India, even as merely a 3rd/Friday driver.

Re: Where did all the money go?
Two things off the top of my head.
1. Look at the size of teams. They're massive compared to even 10-20 years ago.
2. Travel expense. Not only more races, but more flyaways when their base is in Europe.

The number of races doesn't matter. It's the form of the teams and drivers that dictates when the title is won or lost. So you think 1000000 races equals a decent chance of a title decider? Of course the number of races makes a difference. Straw Man. In 23 years (your choice of time period) we've h...

Re: Your favourite title deciding circuit?
Hungary. The earlier the better.
On a more serious note, I always think Suzuki, Adelaide or Interlagos need to be the last or penultimate race as they always provided a spectacle. Abu Dhabi in 2010 was special as it was still technically a 4-way fight and the result pleased me.
