I think you're being very polite. It's a really disappointing circuit on which to stage the finale of the best championship in years if not ever. It will not excite the drivers in the same way as Interlagos did.

What I do not understand is why it could not be built to the same standard as the setting, given that the money was available. Was the area of land unsuitable or did they simply get their priorities wrong?
