Too far away, the spanish circuits can easily be reached by road from the UK, Italy and Swizterland. You'd just end up with lots of extra freight costs for no tangible gain, the point of the limited testing is to keep costs down, its a bit pointless if you make them all fly over to sepang.

I'm sure that Bernie would be interested in adding 250 million peasants to his viewing figures. Um, why?
