    FIA revised calendar for 2009, No more Canada

    I wasn't too upset about Indianapolis being dropped, at least North America still had the Canadian GP.
    Not any more

    WTF?! How did they pull such a good circuit like Gilles off?!

    Not even a single North American race?! Why haven't any of the manufacturers screamed bloody murder?!

    What kind of bullsh*t, make believe, "because the sponsoring country threw Bernie $20,000,000 to bring it here", street course is Max going to put in its place?!


    Bernie is slowly evicerating F1. They really need to ask both him and Max to step down!

    Probably cos there was overtaking at Montreal.. can't let the cars get in the way of each others advertising slogans

    Be interested to see what comes of this.. the whys and wherefores.... not looking good for the British GP going forward... Donnington won't be ready and that'll be Bernie's excuse...

    You are kidding me..... this makes me furious. That was my only chance at watching the F1 races in person.

    Bernie, your douchebaggery must be stopped.

    Yeah, Montreal was at the top of the list for best races for a lot of drivers. Too bad Eccelstone is such a money whore.

    I don't think they care about losing this race. The fact is most of the sponosers are looking for exposure across the world with the exception of North America.

    That sux. Though I was reading the other day, that there are plans underway to prepare a GP circuit here in South Africa.

    Can't believe he'd drop a circuit where overtaking is possible.

    There's too many sports these days where money gets in the way of competition.
