I hope Imola will take its place (and not say a street race in Kazahstan)

(To be completely fair, Turn 4-5-6 with its multi-brakepoint/multi-line nature is actually a masterpiece, along with Turkey's Turn 8, it belongs to the list of things that Tilke got right...which is the shortest list of the world, right next to the list of Vegetarian Eskimos )
Agreed great circuit for F1 cars to drive on and to watch them on.
It will be a shame not to have this track on the calendar regardless of location.

Best moments. First race Ferraris and one of Stewarts best showing.
The carnage of '01 in he monsoon.
Schu vs JPM at the start of '02
Alonso and Kimi's performances in '03.
Glock's near win in '09....
