TOP 10 CIRCUITS THAT F1 NEVER USED (And I would have liked to see at some moment, although not necessarily nowadays)

10.Elkhart Lake

Beautiful surroundings, enough straights and fast flowing sections could have made this a very interesting track for F1 to visit in the 90's.

9.Mugello

This track has all the needed ingredients for good racing; but it's probably too hard to grow alongside Monza

8.Autopolis

Victim of the fever from some Japanese tycoons to build tracks in the middle of nowhere (just see TI Circuit), only this is the one that F1 should have gone to in the mid-90's, and it would have been a blast of a race there.

7.Laguna Seca

Yes, too short and would lack overtaking opportunities more than the Hungaroring, but, sincerely, who hasn't wanted to watch an F1 car through the corkscrew?

6.Road Atlanta

This short but underrated North American track features a great esses section with elevation changes hardly to be found anywhere else.

5.Potrero de los Funes

Incredible circuit surrounding a lake that is fast, dangerous, and have everything set for exciting racing from the start.

4.Brno

Why F1 has never visited this track in Central Europe is beyond me. It's long, fast and the run through the forest make for one of the best visits of the MotoGP calendar year after year while F1 fans have to watch cars running around the Hungaroring to get one good race in 25 years.

3.Bathurst

I hope this is not the last time an F1 car goes round Mount Panorama. No need for explanation here

2.Macau

Yes, too narrow and dangerous for modern F1 standards, but this track has to be the ultimate street track. It also has the hairpin that makes Loews look like a motorway straight.

1.La Sarthe

Just because it would be too great

David AGS · Post by **David AGS** » 28 Nov 2012, 06:59

Best top 10 drivers ive seen since following our great sport:

1. M.Schumacher
2. Hakkinen
3. Vettel
4. Alonso
5. Hamilton
6. Coulthard
7. Villeneuve
8. Fisichella
9. Button
10. Webber

Reasons: Schu dominant, Hakkinen could match him in MS prime. Vettel cant go past, Alonso most complete driver, Hamilton ultra quick on his day, Coulthard, generally consistent bit unlucky at times. Villeneuve great in his prime, put a few good races at BAR, Fisichella, did very well in late 90's and setup Benetton/Renault for its future success, Button came at age in late 00s very consistent and Webber for his non stop commitment. I left out Hill as IMO was in best car at right time.
