It must be good to be a Prince! :cool:

Monaco, with all due respect, unless it rains, isn't the most interesting race. I never call an F1 race 'boring' either.

If FOTA get Monaco, then in a way it's F1's gain, because they can replace it with a circuit where they can get a more interesting Grand Prix.

RS is right though, there's no backing out for either side after the entry list is published. The new teams need to know whether to build a car for 2010 or not.

It's over for you , so it's time to decide whether you take F1 down with you .

I'll take all that with a pinch of salt until I can see proof of concrete contracts with tracks and TV channels sufficient to run an entire series. Until then its all posturing, though I agree that FOTA could pull it off if they wanted to. Lets all wait a few weeks to see how this pans out. As far as I can see there's nothing here that suggests that its anything more than a negotiation ploy at this point in time.

They can't include the breakaway teams but they can't include new teams now and tell them later on they changed their minds either, they need to know now!

They've suspended the announcement pending Max's court case. Despite saying there was no-way-nuh-huh they could suspend it as far as the 1st of June.

Especially one who owns one of the most famous Casinos in the world. He has connections that Max or Bernie wouldn't want to mess with. :eek:

Oh crap. Even the NASCAR guys feel pity for F1.

They are just trying to seem important.
I've never watched one of their turn left races and never will.

They already did and they are all on boat with the FOTA.

I bet they'd invest more money if they attended a better race.
