My FOTA Track Racing wishlist

Off topic for normal Budster, but here is my wishlist for FOTA racing tracks.
People keep asking where will FOTA race? These choices are what from my knowledge are possible for next year, i.e. not signed to Bernie. Also taken into account the rumours that FOTA are in talks with the Moto GP rights handler to sort some tracks / TV coverage. Overall I think these choices would be a vast world away from the Hermann Tilke garbage which litters F1. These tracks are full of character.

My FOTA Track Choices are:
Silverstone (obvious),
Monaco (No contract, and Prince has said he wont hold a race without Ferrari),
Mugello (Ferrari owned, great track used in MotoGP),
Qatar (MotoGP again),
Hockenheim,
Jerez (used for f1 testing but may be available for race?),
Imola,
China (Anywhere, make a track),
Fuji (Toyota owned),
Mexico (Monterrey or the new Autodrome, Big market used to have a race)
New Moto GP Indy track or some form of US track for commercial reasons,
Spa (if Bernie keeps shunning it why not?),
Le Mans (obvious choice unless FIA have their grip),
Gilles Villenueve, Canada (same as Spa),
Valencia Track (The Moto GP track not the street circuit),

Tracks I would like to see but wont:
Laguna Seca (too dangerous, but could happen MotoGP again),
Rockingham (UK - Purely due to the fact you can see the entire track in the stands would be great to watch),
Bathhurst (would be hilarious to see single seaters on that track),
Tsukuba Circuit (too small but so good),

Comments? Personally I now hope it does happen to teach Bernie and Max a lesson on how not too mes around with fans for years, and then the teams. Also I cant wait to see 900+bhp FOTA cars, as surely they will loosen the rules on engines to "show off".

Pygmy Jerboas



So Cute!! A Pygmy Jerboas, is a beautiful creature from Asia, and the Middle East. There roam deserts mostly, and are on the endangered list in some forms, which questions how this guy got it. But if it raisies awareness of this animal then I'm all for it!
