The Abu Dhabi F1 Circuit (City related)

Just watching the Grand Prix and it occurred to me that the entire circuit is trimmed in sky blue, which is unique in Formula 1 as far as I am aware.

I just wondered, with our connections with the country, if this is anything to do with City or just to make it look pretty?

I think that could be because the male brain only recongises the primary colours whereas women can identify 68948

I dont even recognise primary colours, all I see is a race track with cars. I dont notice anything other than the race? I am terrible.

Aussie TV spotted Patrick Vieira on pit lane pre-race, so there's a city connection. The life of a pro footballer eh.

Our Owner was the major player in getting the track built.

Would not suprise me.

The best circuit in Formula 1 as per the president Bernie Ecclestone.

Second Best is not an option , a certain gentleman in Spain will still be aware.

It might be the most modern, or have the best facilities but as a race track its a very poor circuit in terms of entertainment. Very limitied chanced to over take. The fact that Webber and Alonso got stuck behind Petrov for so long is a perfect example of it's limitations.

Thats majority of the tracks ross. Thats why they change the rules so much, its cheaper than atering the circuits. I like F1 but its boring most of the time.
