Cool, more the better for me. I enjoy the F1, enjoy having a flutter on it too, I have a nice little wager in brawn coming top of constructors 20 to 1 as well at the start of season.

I'm not too sure about this to be honest. The name Manhattan carries a lot of weight, but the streets are all straight and regular so I think they might struggle to come up with a decent circuit, unless they race through Central Park.

If they can come up with a good circuit I'm all for it.

...and some of the most uneven pavement on the planet. As popular as you think F1 is, holding a race in Manhattan will cause more anger among New Yorkers than excitement.

of course it will! It's not as if traffic and parking in New York isn't bad enough without having to close it all down tthe best part of 2 weeks. It's not just the Sunday race, it's the practising and qualifying, and all the time needed to set the race course up and take it down again!
