The more middle-eastern tracks added is just better for the Indian viewer. One can leave on a Friday evening reach Qatar/UAE/Bahrain by 10PM local time, watch qualifying, finish the race and take a midnight flight back home.
The sad thing is that the Indian Grand Prix doesn't look like it will ever come back, as there would be too many races in Middle East and South Asia region.

Hope this year's Qatar GP is interesting and filled with overtakes.

Red Bull And Honda Will Part Ways In The Best Way — With A Throwback Livery

The team will run a Honda RA272-inspired livery with "thanks" written on the wing at the Turkish GP.

Red Bull Racing posted a little teaser video on their Twitter.

It will be amazing seeing that classic red and white Honda inspired livery on the Red Bulls again.

Love it! The colour scheme kind of reminds me of the Mach 5 from the cartoon Speed Racer.

I'd vote to keep that paintjob for the rest of the season, if rules allow. Royal blue + yellow has gotten boring.

Looking at this Sir.XYZ would be "Man, that car's got too much 日本製リア!"

Honestly it looks fantastic.

Better than the original scheme? err, not really; would probably rate both the same.

White and Red does remind of the the original Honda F1, should have included the hint of that green/pista tint.

Very OT, but just imagine the RB's passing the Mercs and then HAM & BOT reading the text on the DRS Flap. It's as if it was meant to be such
