[Fot] FIA blinks first

[MadMarx]

I suppose the reason for no race at Silverstone is, that the track won't like
any more F1 races.
Same at Hockenheim. They are on the schedule for 2010 and said - NO. Too
expensive to host a F1 race.
Each F1 on a German track does cost the track 6.000.000 b,. More than these
track companies can afford and the little racers like me has to pay for.
I don't like to pay the F1 racers to have their fun with my entry fee.

So from my part, I don't care about "no F1 races in Germany" in short future.
I'm more keen on sports car races anyway.

Cheers
Chris

At some point the manufacturers are going to put thier foot down, or up
Bernie's

bumm. How can they spend the kind of money they do on F1 and not have a race

in the UK or North America.

Does anyone but B.E think more Ferraris, Mercedes or BMW's are sold in Turkey

or Spain than the UK or North America ?

No Silverstone..the birthplace of F1, B it's madness.

I'm not so sure a breakaway series was such a bad idea. Who would F1 get to
replace

the current teams, would they just simply elevate everyone in GP2 ?

Force India could actually contend for an F1 championship

Bernie & Max just need to run away together.

Looks like the FIA "blinked" first and the FOTA has prevailed. B As an added
plus "Mad Max" Mosley will be gone in the Fall. B Bernie E. should take the
hint and leave also. B If I heard correctly on the broadcast, Silverstone had
100,000 fans in attendance all 3 days. B Turkey had about 30,000 for the race
and very few for practice and qualifying. B But Silverstone is off the
schedule for next year? B And no North American race? B Guess the North
American market is not big enough for Bernie, plus the North Americans don't
take kindly to extortion.

Just my thoughts,
