    Should there be a Finnish Grand Prix?

    Should there be a Finnish Grand Prix?

    I think there should, first KIMI RAIKKONEN as just won the F1 World Championship. As well as Raikkonen, (The Great) Mika Hakkinen and Keke Rosberg also won F1 Worl Championships. There is Heikki Kovalainen who is a rising star and also Keke's son Nico Rosberg (But he is classed as German). Other Finnish figures include JJ Letho and Mika Salo who were both very popular in F1. Please Bernie do the right thing, get a track build in Finalnd a give a Grand Prix to Finland!

    So, does anybody agree with me?

    I was going to say exactly the same thing!

    Though an F1 race round the streets of Jyväskylä would be fun...

    OK, then — stick some of the old street circuit masters in the cars. Watson, Alesi...

    on the other hand it would maybe not be so bad idea after all, it would be nice to see if that Naomi Campbell really is that tall, or does she just look tall in TV.

    Not to mention being out of use for 5 months because of snow.
    We had DTM races in Helsinki centre few years back, but i wouldn put F1's in another city course.
