RWC should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I must say that hockenhiem is 'his best' design.
I'll never admit that to anyone who thinks thay run this sport though-for two reasons.

They obliterated one of the all time great trackes to make it

and...

I'm sure Tilke himself doesn't know WHY it's dead easy to pass there,in spite of his constant bleatings.It's *not* because of his normal reason -'a tight corner at the end of the straight'
It's because of the left sweeper/right hairpin combo!
Austria has a similar section that encourages heaps of passing attempts.

All in all though *none* of these tracks look any good.
Take away the grandstand from malaysia and it's a go kart track with a couple of interesting bits.The others are no better as far as i can remember.
There's no individuallity in f1 tracks
You'd think that they could run the track through some sand dunes in bahrain for goodness sakes ! Just build fake ones if that's what it takes!
