I'm not usually one to worry too much about this sort of thing, but it does seem terribly wasteful in the case of Korea and India to build these circuits and only use them a few times... Korea has barely hosted anything outside of its Grand Prix!

Seems that India will skip 2014 to allow an early date in 2015.

It should be... if it isn't I'll have to work out why but it should be available in the US store.

Let me look again. I tried a moment ago and it was trying to direct me back to the UK store.

I bought it from the US store yesterday, so it really should be available... :)

Here's the link I get to when I search for it in the US store - http://www.amazon.com/Weekend-Formula-P ... f1+paddock

I use the Kindle app through my ipad.

Thanks. It isn't perfect, but I'm hopeful I've done a good job. I intend to write another one about Spa/Monza, assuming that goes ahead, and focus it more on travel and the country rather than just F1.

@kals - Hmmm that's odd. Seems like something's going wrong because I get the same issue. It shows as $2.50 on the main page but then I have the same issue as you on the actual page... :confused:
