Now these are a few tracks that have alot of potential. Below is a great onboard with Karun Chandhok in the Red Bull Racing F1 car, on a track that gets a thumbs up from him. Lots of flowing corners, slow and fast, blind corners, some high cornering G forces, nice long straights and short blips of acceleration. This is one of the new tracks of the F1 era not built within the confines of a street circuit venue such as Valencia that means they have been able to sculpt a great layout and not have concrete walls either side of the driver. Along with the new plans for the US Grand Prix seen above for 2012, which has an incredible change in climb for Turn One, this should be great to see the F1 cars and drivers tackle for the first time.

It could have been, and should have been, a Red Bull parade already over with…so why isn’t it?
Had he converted his seven pole position starts into seven wins he would be running away with the championship to a point where we would all, honestly be sick with his winning ways, but in awe at his skills behind the wheel of the car.
