Meanwhile, In Korea
Posted by DaveEllis
If they did go to Europe, I can't see them going somewhere that hasn't hosted recent F1 racing or testing, so Jerez, Valencia, Algarve, Magny-Cours, Mugello would all be the most likely I would say.

Exactly... there is no way there is going to be a replacement or reserve Grand Prix, logistically it would be a nightmare and incredibly expensive, and who's going to want to waste that kind of money? Certainly not Bernie.
The only nearly slightly viable option would be to like I said... replace the young driver test at Abu Dhabi with a race instead. But that is not going to happen for other organisational issues.
And anyway shockingly it's starting to look like Korea will make it....or the FIA and Bernie turn the other cheek if it doesn't quite meet with their demands.

Even more reality:
If Korea doesn't happen a plan has very likely already been established and if there's a replacement track then it has already been contacted. It's probably been set for a few weeks.
More reality edit: it will also not be something that pleases us

I was in Korea from January to April, and the weather was terrible!
Everything was snowed in till early March and even when the weather turned for the better, another snow storm hits.
They lost at least two months just because of the weather, it should have been completed some time during the summer, so they've had a lot of catching up to do.
I just hope the race goes ahead as i love Korea, and it would be great for the country.
I dont hold out much hope for a sell out crowd though, it's a 4 hour drive from Seoul, making it an 8 hour round trip.
They are advertising the hell out of it though.

Just heard it on the Sport update on Radio 1 as well. Good stuff.
Looks like we'll have a track that looks more like a construction site in parts, but obviously they're satisfied it's complete enough.

Its good that the race is on. I don't think it has a long term future in F1 (in fact, with India, US, Rome etc. coming soon I wouldn't even give it 3 years), but it would be a pity if the championship was shortened.

I think Sepang will probably survive with the added interest of a half-Malaysian team in F1. China's more doubtful, but I'd say Bernie would step in to keep it there.
I think Turkey's almost definitely gone after next year.
