So suzuka being one of the toughest and most exciting tracks gets dropped for a boring chicane riddled waste of a circuit.

I hate all of your opinions.

Thats actually quite a few of the drivers opinions not just mine.
And think back to the exciting moments suzuka has given the racing world, not least of all Kimi's pass last year down the main straight and Alonso's almost suicidal outside pass of schumi round 130R. Just take a close look at Fuji and apart from the long back straight which will lead to one of the few passing opportunities, its just an average track. Its selling point is the fact it has a mountain in the background.

Shame people spoil old fashioned fast track by putting lots of stupid chicanes and messing around with their layouts...

Any, I was thinking whether this would have happened if Toyota were at the top of the F1 field and Honda at the bottom... Maybe this could be seen as an incentive for a very under achieving manufacturer to stay in F1 for the long term, having seen how quickly Ford left when the Jaguar team didn't perform to corporate expectations...
