Russia (Sochi) (8/30) The race: 2/10 Audience participation: 5/10 The place: 1/10 Perhaps it’s unfair to judge it after just one year. However, other than the facilities at the track being immaculate, it’s hard to think of anything positive to say about Sochi. The track is dreary, the race was dull, and the surroundings are dreadful. Two restaurants in a hotel of 2,500 people just doesn’t make sense. Oh, and don’t forget the overbearing political influence of a certain President Vladimir Putin. How did it win the race promoters' trophy? No prizes for working that one out. Picture: GETTY IMAGES
