    Australia may lose Grand Prix

    Sorry if this is a re-post:

    Is Bernie bluffing?

    Anyway, looks like there are plenty of country's that do want F1 if we don't so its probably better off to move offshore. Actually, I could never understand why Melbourne took it from Adelaide in the first place. The Adelaide Grand Prix had an atmosphere that I don't think Melbourne has ever achieved.

    Just my opinion.

    Our 'group' from all over Australia have been going to the F1GP in Melbourne since 1998, and love it. But we're already talking about traveling to Singapore to watch a night GP in 2011.

    I hope the race stays. Melbourne is one of my favourite tracks.

    Guess Bernie figured that he wasn't going to squeeze any more blood out of a turnip.
    I may look like I\'m doing nothing but at the molecular level I\'m really very busy.

    They should move it to Phillip Island for a night race. Surely he isn't stupid enough to think that an Albert Park race at night would work. Pity, because as an Australian I like not having to wake up at stupid o'clock to watch races. If Bernie wants timeslots that cater to European audiences, just maybe he should hold more races in Europe.

    Melbourne ain't gonna be hosting a night race.

    However, Adelaide once held an ALMS race at night, so that might be viable.

    Actually, Bernie is a greedy adopted son of a one eyed gypsy. There are other places which want the publicity associated with an F1 even are probably willing to pay for it.

    Somebody should tell Bernie that when he dies of Syph, he can't take his money with him.

    Bernie should keep the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park because it's where the F1 Season starts every year.
    Valentino Rossi :D
    Michael Schumacher :D
