F1 not coming to Canada in 2009

[alp]

with the cancellation of the F1 race in Montreal for next year this will be the first time since 1958 that F1 doesn't race in North America!! So sad for racing.

Bernie wants $50 million for Canada to host the GP.

The car manufactureres are not too happy as they loose a major showcase to their biggest market. BMW chairman has already voiced his disapointment.

Never mind Bernie Ecclestone. The best happened 30 years ago when Gilles Villeneuves won his first GP, in Montreal, on October 8th 1978.

This normally happens when negotiations get tight, and Bernie nearly always gets his payroll. I'd put money on there being a North American F1.

the race day has already been given away to Turkey I believe. So all of the arrangements would have to be changed again unless Turkey get screwed on the race date.

Bernie's a dictator.

Max is a... creep.

GP1, anyone?

And I really don't care much for street circuits.

And while one or two Tilke tracks would be OK,

after a while you get sick of them.

GP1, anyone?

bah.

All the new BS from F! and the FIA has ruined the sport for now. I will watch the Daytona Prototypes.
