Whereas Hockenheim, a totally uninteresting circuit but with lots of overtaking and its loved for that.

They both matter to me a great deal. I do think Monaco provides shite racing though, wouldn't be arsed if it was dropped.

Yep, and that's why I hate watching it. I'm sure it's a dream to drive but as a race it is boring.Monaco tends to be more about the driver vs. the track than anything else. Unless you have the courage of Gilles Villeneuve, overtaking is too difficult.

A big part of the soul of Grand Prix racing is the variety of challenges throughout the season.

It used to be this way, but with the butchering of Hockenheim, the tracks really end up in two categories nowdays :
1. Medium downforce circuits.
2. Monaco.
And so the aero configuration is mostly the same for all circuits now, except this weekend.
The teams will bring special aero updates for the race this weekend, and five days from now throw them in the bin, never to be used again.

I too would like a Hockenheim style speed run back (though the current track is actually a nice mid-speed circuit, and the old one was widely considered a joke when introduced!). but with the engine rules as they are it would be a bit pointless unfortunately. It was never a driver test, it was an engine builder/reliability test and those factors have been skewed too much.

Hockenheim was my favourite track of the year until they butchered it and made it into the abomination it is now.
Posted 22 May 2013 - 20:30
That's because Monza is the only high speed track left on the shedule.I would also add
3. Monza
Alot of teams bring a special Monza package.

The final sector leading into the first sector is still an absolute peach of a combination though, such a good rhythm. The mid sector is very uninteresting I agree.
