Oh well. At least I saw Hamilton on the podium and Vettel win the championship that race  |
Location killed F1 Korean GP.
I recall sometime like 2010, in heavy rain. Spectators still trying to get into their stands while race had already commenced.
A remote location without public transportation, and just shuttle buses just wont cut it.
