i think it'll be a great shame if there isn't a British GP next year, especially as we have had two British Champions in the last two years and it's been on the calendar since 1947

I agree, but if the race track in question can't get their act together, then they really don't deserve to host F1. I just wish more tracks put their names in the hat. Brands Hatch for a kick off along with Silverstone again and even Rockingham, who have an inside track along with the oval. (Don't know how long it is though. Never been there.)

Humm Donnington could be fecked now. No F1 and the current investors will vanish leaving a half finished facility.

In other news Todt got the FIA presidency. Rubbish.

Much as I love Brands they'd never pull it off. They can hardly use the GP layout due to noise restrictions from the locals and they just don't have the facilities to deal with F1 and would never get permission to build them.

F1 cornering speeds are ridiculous. Other than that, I dont really like watching it, pretty boring.

Yeah, was thinking the same.  Ex Ferarri guy is head of FIA?, I hope there's no bias/blind eyes from Ferarri problems or dubious manouvers next season.

With Alonso at Ferrari, and Todt as president, you can count on it!

lets hope he can be neutral

i know ari vatanen was the peoples choice but todt does have a better cv (minus the ferrari connection)

[Stronz]

Wasn't that chuffed about Todt either. But at the end if the day, we are going from one Ferrari man to another, albeit from a supporter to an ex-employee.
