I remember a few weeks ago when some pics of the circuit came up, someone said the flags were taken out, well here are them again :)

Since Anderstorp was dropped from the calendar in 1978, it's nice to have a Grand Prix in neighbor country (albeit the track is located farther than Monza).
Some have described the track a combination of Valencia, Korea & Abu Dhabi. Bunch together 3 worst tracks ever and you get...I guess, the most worstest track ever?

Ah, you must be talking about those mixed feelings people have when they, say, live in a country whose head of state is guilty of human rights abuse on a neighbouring foreign population? :lol:

Marussia look to be prepping 2 cars.

I'm guessing Alex Rossi will be brought in, Would certainly make the most sense since he's already driven it during FP1 at Spa.

Although Will Stevens was scheduled to run in FP1 this weekend so maybe they will go with him & bring Rossi in for COTA.

Russian GP bosses already pushing for a day/night race from 2015.

Track is pretty bad, just a bunch of constant radius corners and straights. Reminds me of Valencia pretty much. Doesn't seem to be any on the edge corners, maybe T3 or the double left hander.

I'd prefer to see a russian GP on a circuit surrounded by trees, valleys, hills, mountains, just like any old school racing circuit...but it's not. This track seems like another high tech venue, surrounded by concrete and led lights.

But ok, there are some pretty views too. (specially If pussy riot chicks show up)
