I think this is something where F1 needs to look into why on earth they are going to these places in the first place. How many Renault cars are actually sold in Bahrain or Singapore ?
The core market for F1 is Europe, despite is being a world championship, and so that is where the viewers come from. As such they try to shift the races to get as many of us to watch it. Surely the solution would be to have more races in Europe. There was loads of empty space there as none of the locals could even afford to attend the GP let alone buy a car by Ferrari or BMW
