    Dropped?? There won't be any for the next two years but it looks like two of the following will probably be gone if any other countries get their wish of a GP:

    Silverstone/British GP
    Magny-Cours/French GP
    Spa/Belgium GP
    Imola/San Marino GP

    These have had the most trouble financially. The USGP could be gone as well since we in America just can't seem to get into F1...

    I think the USGP could be cut, but i see it moving somewhere else first. Don't know where, but I think Bernie would try somewhere else first before pulling hte plug. Especially if Scott continues to struggle and no other Americans can advance.

    please axe the usa gp, they dont care about it, they love Nascar too much.

    Back to silverstone, reasons why its crap... too flat, no real good overtaking area's, crap temporary seating stands, big screens in wrong positions, too many jobs worths around on gp day,extortinate prices,nightmare getting into and out of on gp day.

    brandshatch, what a race track should be.

    Brandshatch, Spa and Monza are the best tracks.

    Bernie is losing is mind ... He is ruining F1 !!! one race per country is enough , why add another city race in Valencia . F1 is to be raced on a circuit , not in the street , Monaco is the only one that should be on the schedule because of is history .

    You're not serious are you?

    I'll grant you that a few years ago Silverstone used to be a nightmare to get in and out of (1999 anyone?) but these days it's one of the best, especially considering the volume of traffic compared to something like BTCC at Brands Or Donington.

    As for no real overtaking? Get real! Over the past couple of years that has been the case, yes that is true, but that is down to the design of the cars, not the track.

    The stands are OK, I've sat in worse. What do you expect?

    Prices? £99 for admission for all three days, take a look at some of the other circuits currently on the calender and see what they charge. Spa, as an example will charge you £105 per day for general admission.

    Big screens in the wrong positions

    Anyway, back onto the topic, either Magny Corrs, Barcelona or Hungaroring would be my choices.

    i think the british and french gps are the most likely to be dropped, but i think they shud keep the british GP cause of the massive history behind it.
    If England ever perform at a World Cup, make sure you wake me up :p:

    just my opinion
    I agree 100% with that!
    I would prefer to see British GP at Brands Hatch and the Italian race should remain at Monza.
    I am getting sick of Magny Cours and the Hungaroring though.
