Korea is my least favourite grand prix now. It probably edges Shanghai which
is another venue where you notice the disinterest. I don’t like this event
simply because it is too far away from civilisation. But I love the track.
If it was 20 minutes from Seoul it would be great. But if there’s one thing
this place lacks it’s a bit of soul.

I quite like this one actually. I’m in a ’love hotel’ in Mokpo but it’s big
enough, clean enough. Mokpo is quite lively at night. We could do with a few
more fans at the track but overall I quite enjoy this weekend. I always
thought Aida, in Japan, was the worst: it’s in the middle of nowhere, with
nothing around it.

Yes
Aida was horrendous. But I’m struggling to think of a worse one than Korea of
the current lot. It’s not great for sponsors although that actually helps us
in terms of focusing on the race. I guess every venue has its pros and cons. If
you ask a truckie they would probably say Monaco is the worst because it’s a
nightmare logistically.
