But if you are going to have many of these brilliant passes, they will ceaze to be special and brilliant at one point. Would you still remember Häkkinen on Schumi at Spa, if you saw 10 passes like that every race?

You could see 10 passes in a race without them being particularly brilliant, you'd still remember the great passes because the timing and the sheer opportunism of them made them brilliant, not merely because the cars facilitated passing. You could have ten textbook passes down the inside of someone going into a hairpin after a long straight and it wouldn't be remembered as brilliant like those you mentioned.

Well, some of the new tracks, like Shanghai and Turkey are in my view, superb tracks. Fuji is great too.
Bahrain is a graveyard though. I'd like to see a new racetrack on the calendar thats narrower and faster. That'd be good to watch.
