The two German car manufacturers involved in F1 insist the country must be represented on the sport’s annual calendar.

With all of Germany's taxes, the gov't should foot some of the bill. Though neither circuit (of today) is all that inspiring, it might benice to keep a couple of the "old guard" around...
of course BMW and Mercedes could throw in a coupla euros (LOL)

Never fear, I'm sure the Bernie has taken that into account and has raised his fees accordingly.

If Bernie keeps making poor business decisions regarding F1 races, you can bet FOTA will take F1 over for the benefit of all, except Bernie.

He won't stop his madness, that much is clear. I'd bet if the Italian GP was put on the chopping block, the movers and shakers will put an end to this. Bernie might even wake up with a stallion head in his bed. LOL

The problem here is that we're losing all of the history of F-1...Without places like Spa, The Nurburgring, Monza, F-1 is somewhat meaningless. The cars are also heading toward "spec" cars. Innovation is going too... Shame on Bernie and Max!

All that has to happen to make Bernie and Max stop the madness is for Ferrari to threaten to leave. Without Ferrari F1's stock goes down big time.

Agreed with racerrick48. F1 is loosing its mistyque. The heritage and attraction in the sport have been waning for years now, and decisions made of late have only contributed to its now-rapid demise.

f1 needs to race on the old hockenhiem circuit, that was an awesome track before they took all the character out of it.

Bernie is killing F1. He needs to step down ASAP. I never thought I'd see the day where France, Germany AND England don't have GP's. Not only that but the decision to turn F1 into a spec car series to save money will kill it.

Danathar is right, Bernie will only stop killing F1 when the manufacturers start to threaten to drop out... or he dies. Whichever comes first.
