F1 Magazines

When I travel or just like to read a magazine it's always Formula One related. The picture above shows just a few that I found lying around my house. In the middle there's a huge stack of F1 Racing (all of the 2012 issues and some from 2013). 

I used to subscribe to F1 Racing but not anymore. Now I just buy them from a store if I manage to find an issue. It's hard to find the magazine if you don't live in London for example. When I was there I saw them in every supermarket. But in other countries you have to look for them in bookstores for instance. 

I remember when I read my first F1 Racing magazine in 1997. An issue was accidentally delivered to my house and I couldn't resist. I was a teenager with no money so when could I ever read a magazine like that? 

I don't remember what they were talking about in that issue but I bet it had to do with, Villeneuve, Hill, Schumacher and Häkkinen. Back then everything was about them. Just like today it's all about Vettel, Räikkönen, Alonso, Hamilton and Button.

There is a few Finnish Formula One magazines as well. Actually they are bonus issues that you can buy together with other newspapers. In the Scandinavian countries there isn't really any F1 magazines so basically I bought everything there was.

It's not very hard to guess which magazines are from Finland. Finns who don't follow Formula One at all know who Kimi is and that's why he is on the covers. Some people hate motor sports but they might just be interested of Kimi Räikkönen.

I have found some magazines in Finland about motor racing in general but not a single one that would be just for F1 fans. If I am wrong then please send me a message. I like to read in finnish as well and not only in english.

All in all I prefer magazines more than reading from the internet. Sitting in front of the computer hurts my eyes sometimes when reading a magazine is relaxing. You can sit in your favorite chair or just chill on the sofa.

That's what I'm gonna do right now! See ya!

If I could make a totally new race calendar

I posted earlier a realistic race calendar with actual race tracks that has been used before.
I also said that I will post another race calendar later with new places where it would be cool to have F1 races.
These will mostly be street circuits but also regular ones. I must explain a bit as well on the side of the suggestion so you would understand a bit better. Some of these might be a bit radical.

I may not choose any existing F1 tracks that have already been used in Formula one. So here we go again...

1. Abu Dhabi - Street circuit. Not the Yas Marina track but the actual streets.
2. Dubai - Autodrome. Check out the circuit HERE
3. Qatar GP - The MotoGP series already uses this track. You can see the track HERE
4. Hong Kong - Street circuit
5. Macau - Street circuit (This is the most legendary circuit in the F3 series just like Monaco in F1)
6. Sahara - African GP in the desert. Almost like Bahrain but with a new track.
7. Canary Islands - Spanish island group next to Africa. European people go there on vacations. They have several circuits mostly meant for go-carts but with a little money you could modify them into F1 tracks.
8. Scandinavia - Each Scandinavian country could take turns. Finns and Swedes love Formula One.
9. Chernobyl street race - This could never be possible because of the radioactivity but still.. it would be pretty cool though if it were possible.
10. Paris - Street circuit
11. Europe - Different countries could try hosting a GP. If it's a success they could stay in the calendar in the future as their own GP (not as the European GP anymore).
12. London - Street circuit. See track suggestion HERE
13. Mugello - They have done testing there so why not a whole GP weekend? See the track HERE
14. Berlin - Street circuit
15. Daytona 500 - One track where the drivers could just put the pedal to the medal and overtake each other for 500 miles in a circle. I think it's time for F1 to try only one track like this.
16. New York - street circuit
17. Hawaii - Actual circuit or in the streets. It doesn't matter.
18. Alaska / Siberia - We could see how the cars would last in really cold weather! The teams would need "ice tires" depending on the weather. Sometimes it's really cold but if it's before winter then it's not that bad.
19. Forest GP - This could never happen but I would love it if F1 could be entirely held on a forest track.
20. Sydney - The season would end in the streets of Sydney, Australia.

This got a bit crazy like I thought but now it's ready! What more can you add to this?
