Finland might soon be in a position to host a round of the F1 world championship. The small northern European country has had plenty of drivers in F1, but never a round of the modern formula one series.
However, the Kymi Ring is currently under construction north east of capital Hensinki, and it has already done a deal to host a MotoGP round from 2018. And Finnish auto federation AKK president Juhani Pakari has now told Ilta Sanomat: "It is natural that we will seriously examine the possibility of getting formula one in Finland." (GMM)

A Scandinavian GP would be nice. We could take turns in hosting it.
