Silverstone dropped!
Discussion
The Arabs have just started a new world series for F1 as a counterpoint to the current F1 roadshow.
China is the biggest emerging marketplace for the tobacco industry. The Bernie show is the Sales & Marketing division for the tobacco industry.
In the west, we now know the full dangers of smoking and it is declining. So why should F1 give a damn about racing in the west. Sod Silverstone.
In the east, smoking is on the up, we just had the Chinese Grand Prix...jeez, did you see the new stadium. Plus all the other new far eastern venues.
It is a conspiracy centred on smoking.

this is a case for Mulder and Scully. I think you're right.
Well. Do we care?
Most of us reckon that F1 has got dull. If Silverstone put on a couple of other large events instead I'd probably go to see them and enjoy them...especially if they were better priced.
Champ Cars maybe?
Still - I feel its a bit of history passing which is a crying shame...

Hardly surprising if it's right.
Bernie wants the amount of money that he's been paid every year for the last decade. Silverstone can't afford that by itself, so put in a lower offer, hoping for mercy.
Bernie thinks: I know, I'll take it to Bahrain or Russia instead.
This will rumble on for months. I can see the teams having a say and this will widen the rift between the teams/manufacturers and the organisers (and Bernie) even more.
One of the first nails in F1's coffin, maybe? Good riddance, bloody expensive single seater series!

I think its quite a sad day for british motorsport enthusiasts.
Yes F1 has become a bit dull with the schumacher/ferrari dominance but it is still the pinnacle of world motor sport.
I saw F1 cars at Silverstone for the first time this year and i have to say i was stunned by the noise and speed.
It will be a shame if it goes for good.

Whether F1 is or isn't a spectacle anymore, it's a crying shame as someone correctly stated, that considering the number of teams and suppliers to F1 that are based in this country that we can't even put a race on here. Tobacco conspiracy, is probably near to the truth. Did someone say 22,000 pubs in the UK are considering a smoking ban?
