If they manage to stick with Interlagos for 10 years, I can see that happening there.

I recommend you to see a doctor as that's not an understandable reason to orgasm. Might be cancer.

Just run it in Dijon. They were already running 1:01's in the early 80's, so it's a 45 second track now.

I reckon they'd get round Pukekohe pretty quick.

If they're going to NZ they gotta go to Highlands first, but it's a good nomination

One I had in mind was Brands Hatch Indy, but I remember CART ran around there once and it was no good.

Lime Rock Park maybe?

Indianapolis, with the current revised corner 9 and 10 but with banking ofcourse. They did 1:09.5 in 2004 with the slow turn 10, they would come close to 1 minute round by now.

They could return Silverstone to the original layout. Rosberg turned in a 1:05.9 with the Woodcote chicane in 1985.

I'm amazed nobody suggested the obvious choice yet:

Brands Hatch Indy

/thread

edit: well wait, it's a crap idea. Nobody would be able to follow for shit there as most turns are relatively aero dependant for modern F1s. You'd have a continuous string of 20 cars all running at 1.5-2 seconds from each other and unable to get closer. It would suck massive balls, but in a good way.

There's also Long Beach, a classic venue. IndyCars were lapping 1'05", maybe F1 could wipe at least 10 seconds off that

9ºC of air temperature? Is perhaps the coldest F1 session in years

That bump coming out of the pits.

Hamilton say he's not sure if the track is safe because of the bumps. The track has apparently sunk by 1.5 metres since 2012 O.o
