:shock:
I didn´t know that you could write a letter to Mosley to ask for his resignation!

I will write one, too.

And also I will write one asking Bernie to retire.

It seems that the F1 teams do not want to lose the Canadian GP, so hopefully it will not be dropped
Honda Racing CEO Nick Fry told autosport.com: "We are a global series and not to be performing in one of the major continents is a serious problem - even more so because it is a continent that is very important for the motor manufacturers who are involved in F1.
"We need to look at the north American continent situation from a more strategic point of view and work out how we increase our popularity. I don't think you can just look at one race – you have to look at the whole situation there and put together a package which increases our appeal in North America. Then, the financial problems we have appearing at just one race in the continent, will go away."

Breaking news from Canada, all hope is lost for the 2009 Montreal GP. Well folks, it's not going to happen... :cry:

MONTREAL - Montreal has lost the Canadian Grand Prix.

Quebec Premier Jean Charest has confirmed that attempts to save the race have failed.

Montreal mayor Gerald Tremblay and Quebec provincial tourism minister Raymond Bachand called a press conference for Sunday afternoon to discuss the Formula One race.

F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone dropped the Canadian Grand Prix from the 2009 schedule in October and left three levels of government scrambling to get the race back on the roster.

The event draws an estimated $100 million per year in revenues and economic spinoffs to the city.
Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.
