Sochi is underwhelming and there are other new F1 GP venues that would be more interesting.

I stated this in another thread regarding Formula E....bringing the Circus to the streets of major metropolitan areas creates interest in F1, reduces carbon footprint issues due to the mass of spectators are within a relatively close proximity, etc.

The day may be coming when Formula E replaces F1 as we know it (another thread I started some months ago)....
