Interesting piece on motorsport.com on Malaysia mulling over the future of the F1 GP.

Some of the key points they raise are:

'Razlan said Formula 1 was no longer an exciting sport and that the country should re-consider the future of the grand prix.

"I think the product [F1] is no longer exciting. It's being dominated by one team."

Malaysia's minister of youth and sports Khairy Jamaluddin, meanwhile, called for the country to give up the Formula 1 race and instead focus on MotoGP, which he said was much more affordable.
"I think we should stop hosting the F1. At least for a while. Cost too high, returns limited," Jamaluddin said on Twitter.

"When we first hosted the F1 it was a big deal. First in Asia outside Japan. Now so many venues. No first mover advantage. Not a novelty.'

Hmmm, I wonder if that will get some of BE's other host countries thinking....
