How would you like the streets of London to become a F1 circuit<\/strong>? Jenson Button and Lewis \"FormulaHamilton have recently said that they were involved in the design of the circuit for a grand prix in London. There are some videos of a simulation at the bottom of this entry.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think<\/strong> about the whole idea?<\/p>\n

When I first read about it,it was quite silly. We are having enough traffic problems already in London, let alone Central London. But, I can see it could be a bit of a dream for F1 based in London and the surroundings.<\/p>\n

The circuit is 5.1 km long, and it has been designed to drive past iconic landmarks<\/strong>, such as the Big Ben or Buckingham Palace. I think that Monte Carlo and Singapore have street circuits too. So, why not\u00a0London?<\/p>\n

\"Formula<\/p>\n

Ev<\/span>ery F1 circuit is a bit different from the others. For example, there was this one in Brazil which seemed to be a bit harder than the rest. I wonder what the drivers feel it\u00a0is the difficulty level\u00a0of the suggested London circuit in a 1 to 10 scale.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By seeing the CGI pics below, I think it would be a great thing to do as a tourist. That is,\u00a0driving or being driven past those landmarks at night. Quite pretty, isn\u00b4t it? London by night is beautiful and exciting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Formula\u00a0\"Formula\u00a0\"Formula\u00a0\"Formula<\/p>\n

Now, t<\/span><\/span>he F1 drivers would not really enjoy that at all, as they would only focus on their driving to get firs to the finishing line – and alive!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
