The power-mad and money-hungry are destroying the world. You can blame baby-boomers too if you like, it makes me feel better.

You Canadians can whine all you want. Your circuit sucks, isn't relevant and doesn't represent North America very well.

That's not to say that the US does it better. The childish weenies at IMS make things rather difficult here.

If there is a contract through 2011, why will there not be a race? Are Bernie and Max not ethical?

Yes! I agree, Sue the Bastards. Bernie & Max Gotta go. Stupid Rule changes that do nothing but cost More Money and do nothing to improve the " SHOW ". While Your at IT, Resurface the Track Please.

The facts are simply about money - the money Bernie The Evil Troll gets from the Abu-Dabbi concern. They spent $100M on their event, you can bet a whole schwack of that went into Bernie's pocket.

It sucks thats for sure! I've gone to that race the last 3 years and it was a blast. I had already booked my trip for next year because I thought that it was set in stone, but of course the FIA screws over the loyal fan once again.

There is quite alot of Americans that attended that race as well including myself. I enjoyed the track more than I did Indy.

I don't understand how the Montreal circuit is not "relevant" nor "representative". I do know that a lot of my flagging friends who make the annual trip to Montreal to work the GP will be surely disappointed. They liked it better than Indy for sure, they were treated better, they were allowed to wear their own whites, they could go out on track, and it's a no-brainer that Montreal is more fun town than Indy. The only issues were having to go across the border, the administrivia regarding signing up, and the exchange rates.

I think Bernie is a money hungry ####### who can't even get a good haircut.I am a Montrealer and have been to every race since.I saw Gilles win in 78 and come in 2nd with no front wing in the rain and even the tragic death of Ricardo Palletti in 82.I think we should take legal action or even a little rough justice like we say in Montreal.Maybe its time Bernie takes a dirt nap as he has screwed the teams and fans for yrs for his own greed.And it seems he bum ##### Ferrari all the time.Well I think since he can do what he wants I think TSN and RDS who show the races here in Canada should drop F1 and we should not allow F1 in North America since he likes the Ragheads and camel jockeys and zipperheads.Hey numbnuts did you know that Canada is the 2nd biggest oil producing country in the world.The F1 race in Montreal has been a favorite venue for yrs and to have that little ##### do that to us we should take that ######## to the cleaners.If we broke the contract for no reason he would have his hand out lookink for cash.So like I said before Bernie needs to take a good long dirt nap hopefully someone will kill that little Brit #####.
