[...] Au Revoir, Montreal - “What are the FIA running here, a joke of an organisation? They didn’t even privately inform the organisers a couple of hours in advance of the statement. No fax, telephone call, not even an email. That is insane. And the FIA want to do business with these people, make money and provide racing, yet they are not even capable of delivering basic respect to the companies that provide the FIA and FOM with the facilities to run the sport. It would be like turning up to work one Friday and your boss telling you that this is your last day because he/she neglected to tell you four weeks ago that the notice period had begun. It’s just plain wrong.” [...]

Well dang Oliver it was just weeks ago we were guessing on where Bernie would build a new track in the US and instead Bernie slapped North America in the face. Living in So. Cal (USA) the Canada race is the only race that most of us get to attend. So my question to Bernie, Max and the powers to be, why should we still support F1. My answer would be I am loyal to F1 and the drivers not Bernie and Max, but that might not be how all F1 fans feel. No matter what happens, people in the US will still buy all the Ferrari’s, BMW’s and Mercedes that come hear, but it would be nice to have one of them stand up for the fans of F1 and hit Bernie wear it counts, his wallet. I know that will not happen so we just hope the senile b@@&^%% will come to his sences and put North America back on the schedule or the best possible solution RETIRE.

That was the word I was looking for. Thanks Steven, I can now sleep tonight.

There are two free practise sessions to watch tonight. No time for sleep.

This will not go down well with F1 fans and is just another stage of the downward spiral of the sport.

I think it is such a shame that the sport’s fans feel compelled to write things like that. A truly great shame. But sometimes, it is necessary because it is true.

I owe you one for the mention!

I owe you one for the emails - thank you! By the way, I’ll probably respond this weekend when I get five minutes. Things have been a bit hectic in Ollie-land these past few weeks, but I think it’s all coming together again.

For the organisers not even to get an hint of a warning shows the moral fibre that the sport now has as its leaders

I agree. It seems they just don’t care and consider themselves above any one and any thing.

For the organisers not even to get an hint of a warning shows the moral fibre that the sport now has as its leaders, I thought it was bad enough when they butchered Hockenheim, but to drop such an excellant circuit without even telling them is beyond belief, I swoar to myself years ago `the day they drop Spa is the day I sell all my F1 memrobelia and turn my back on it all`.
