With Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull/STR and Toyota thats 10 cars potentially leaving the grid...........FIA got to pay attention.

I've been a F1 fan for ~40 years and still love the 'racing'. The racing is what the fans go for, the atmosphere, the noise, the crowd, the cheering for the various manufacturers and drivers and nations.

Let FOTA appoint a new regulatory board, dump Max and Bernie and lets get on with the racing.

Can't wait for the cars to be going through the Monaco Tunnel at +10 volume.

I'll add if Bernie was honest about the racing why does Monaco, Hungary and such like tracks still exist while the US and Canadian GPs are omitted.

+Williams as they would loose their Toyota engines.

That leaves the Mercedes powered cars (Brawn, McLaren & Force India) and BMW (who would also likely pull out).

I agree with most you say but dropping Monaco from F1 calendar is like Ferrari leaving F1. It's just one of those things.

You can and should drop all of these new crappy Tilke tracks but Monaco? No way, it's just part of F1. The racing ain't of course why it's there but everything else and having experienced it at first hand, it IS special.

I didn't suggest dropping Monaco............the resonating noise is worth the price of omission alone.

The point being Bernie has stated why F1 races don't happen at certain tracks but they still do at others and its not because of the racing.....................................................$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$

Take Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Indy and dare I say Silverstone as great race tracks..........F1 cars at WFO through Copse corner heading for Maggots & Becketts, shivers down the spine.

Completely agree with everything, especially about the noise in Monaco, just walking down from the upper area of the city down to the harbor and hearing the Porsche supercups' noise echoing from the buildings is pretty damn cool...

This is gamesmanships being played at the highest level.

Each side waiting for the other to blink. Bernie and Max have brought on this kind of behavior and both need to move on IMHO.

I say more power to Ferrari and to Montezumolo, and this is from a McLaren fan.

I'd suggest slapping Mosley around, but he'd probably enjoy it.
