Nope.

IMHO, they have taken F1 to places where it does not belong, like China, Turkey, Bahrain, Malaysia etc, places with no racing-heritage but new money. Same German guy designs the tracks and they have one thing in common they don't provide much racing. Add aerodynamics that don't provide much overtaking to that then you get racing series where only excitement is in qualifying.

Yep, they should come back to classic euro and US tracks, and give the control of the cars back to drivers, not to aerodynamics/techs.
