F1 is off to the Buddh International Circuit this weekend but since this is our first visit to India there’s little I can ask about the event. Fear not however, for I have a cunning plan: ten questions on the inaguaral events at the last circuits to have joined the F1 calendar. From Albert Park in 1996 through to Yeongam in 2010 I’ve a question for you on each new event… how much do you remember about them?
