No, coz CH10 will still find a reason to delay their broadcast by another five hours. F1 at 4am? No thanks

Yeah
although the Junior 'Ring has a curve called the Bitt Kurve i think, which, even if it is named after some sponsor, has a strangely pleasing ring to it. But yeah, The Daddy 'Ring, I remember when I got Gran Turismo 3 or 4, whatever it was in, and I printed off some page on t'internet that had all the names and the meanings behind the names, it immediately enhanced driving the circuit 50%...ahh Fuchsrohre, Flugplatz, Klostertal et all......Who'd have thought that "Convent Valley" could sound so fearsome in German!?? An excellent example of why corners should be named in the native language of the country, and not after some big multi-national

Spa's corners names are named to little towns, stavelot, blanchimont one to i remember, pouhon, and more, eau rouge means red water, and thats becouse there is a little stream under the corner and the water looks red, when your walking down eau rouge behind the fences you walk over a bridge look down and you see it

Exactomundo! The way it should be too.
Remember looking at an ancient picture of Eau Rouge in summat, from 1960s, and there's this little stone bridge going over the stream. Mad!

Similarly, see Silverstone. 
The history of the circuit is captured in the corner names... Copse, Club, Abbey, Bridge... OK they're not spectacular names, but it definitely adds something to the circuit.
