Couldn't agree more. F1 cars have got bigger and bigger in recent years and it is about time F1 looked at designing cars to suit existing race circuits rather than expecting circuit owners to continually shell out to make the tracks suit the latest cars.
Of course this doesn't apply in Monaco where it has been very difficult to overtake for decades but this is tolerated because Monaco has always been a law unto itself although I understand that Liberty are looking at expecting Monaco to pay similar fees to other circuits in future if they want to keep the Grand Prix.
When you look at the amount of money circuit owners have to pay for the "honour" of hosting an F1 event it is only a matter of time before many more say "thanks but no thanks" particularly in times when so many people are having to watch the pennies and might be reluctant or unable to afford to pay the admission charges that are needed to allow circuit owners to make a profit.
