Keep Abu Dhabi and remove Monza... ya good idea gentlemen.

I doubt they would replace Monza with anything... but then again, Montreal was off the calendar for a bit, and it always holds great races. Maybe that is where my logic fails... it isn't the racing that counts.

Rome's a great city to host a race, lot's of hotels, international airport and great food. Would be cool to see them race thru those streets. I don't think I drove over 1 single smooth surface when I was there 3 weeks ago.

Include both venues, but don't take Monza away. BTW, when is Bernie going to retire?

I wouldn't worry for one second that this could happen. Monza will just be the GP of Europe.

I agree, as I am actually in Rome now.......

This is a great place to host a grand prix........

FWI, Joe, if you felt any bumps on the road you probably weren't driving fast enough.........

The only problem I see, and I am Italian so I can say it, is that it will take forever for this to ever materialize........

Watch the beginning and very end of this clip to see what it would look like.

Rome is one of my favorite cities in the world, but I would be very disappointed with another street circuit, no matter where it is. And to even think about taking Monza off the calander is ridiculous. Is nothing sacred?
