Sorry, but I think circuits like Bahrain and Singapore are a little more sophisticated than that!
The new circuits have good technical challenges, they have multiple points at which it's possible to pass, they are designed to be a lot safer and they make the old circuits look positively tedious by comparison.

It seems strange that in the old days with little money they races on circuits that were over 8 miles long and now the longest is abuot 3 miles except Spa which used to be 10 anyway.

Not strange when you consider how difficult it would be to televise a race on an 8 mile circuit!
