FIA dropped Canada so it doesnt have to admit that the circuit was not up to standard for a race and it did nothing about it

what i don't get is why not axe Magny Cours or Spain ( The test track ) facts are that without Schumacher Ferrari haven't won since 1995 Jean Alesi and if you include Schumacher that would mean Ferrari haven't won since 2004 but oops who am i kidding they cant axe the most boring track on the planet "Spain" because Mclaren haven't won since 2005 and if you exclude Raikkonen for Mclaren, Mika Hakkinen was the last driver to win for Mclaren in 2000 and again in Magny Cours Mclaren haven't won since 2000 when couthard was at Mclaren
Again US GP Ferrari last won it in 2006 however take away Schumacher Ferrari haven't won since Rubens in 2002

so why the hell dont they cut these to both tracks are boring but nope because Ferrari own the track and win there the track cant be axed

Just seems abit weird to me

thumbs down to me if you wish however the 1st paragragh is facts

Mr T says: The T man pity's yahoo and their "invalid comment". Mr T says: How is the T man supposed to share his huge depth of knowledge on F1 if all he gets is "invalid comment".

Next one to be dropped will be Monaco.
They shouldn't be axing race venues they should be adding them.
The F1A should also bring back, BACK TO BASICS RACING.
Bring back full slicks, Only tyre changes in a pit stop and fuelled to the end of the race to stop these idiotic accidents that keep happening with the fuel hoses.
Let the drivers race and lets watch wheel to wheel racing like there was in the Senna and Mansell days

Mosk - I would be spitting blood about your ageist comments if only I could find my teeth !!!!

Enough with the conspiracy theory bullsh1t. Ferrari has done well historically in Canada. The reason is financial. It does not make financial sense to travel all the way to North America for just one race. They will bring Canada back when they bring back the US GP. Personally, I am very saddened by this decision, as this is one race that I planned on attending.

I think the FIA with Bernie Ecclestone in the driving seat does not have as their top priority tracks which really have the characteristics and history to offer great entertainment for spectators and viewers. Instead they are opting for venues which are more profitable, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Malaysia, etc. and more Asian countries.

I feel that certain tracks should be favoured instead of others. Canada always offered quite a spectacle, what with the wall of champions, the safety car, bumpy circuit and high kerbs, and modest home straight. Other tracks, above all Barcelona Spain, Budapest Hungary, Magny-Cours France, and sry again for the Spanish, Valencia, are places where the probability for a zero-overtaking race is exceedingly high. They should be removed, particularly Barcelona and Budapest, which for the past years have always shown procession races, unless rain wasn't a factor.

Then famous, beautiful, entertaining tracks like Hockenheim are removed. Now Canada. I would only go for tracks which offer overtaking possibilities and/or have a history (Monaco should never be removed for example although little overtaking is possible)

My ideal 18-race calendar would look so:

Australia
Malaysia
San Marino (Imola)
Bahrain
South Africa (Kyalami)
Portugal (Estoril)
USA (Indianapolis)
Turkey
Monaco
Great Britain (Silverstone)
Germany (Hockenheim)
Europe (Nurburgring)
Belgium (Spa)
Italy (Monza)
Singapore (chances of overtaking present here unlike Valencia)
China
Japan (Suzuka)
Brazil (Interlagos)

Bernie pls consider!!! Hehe

F1 has gone down the drain,they have messed about with the rules so much they have taken all the driver skills out of the sport.I will never watch it again.

Max Mosley please leave our beloved sport alone,ur wrinkled face more than difficult for fans.Whether you like it or not,we shall have Hamilton as the champ and I can't wait to see ur ugly face!!!!

Does it actually make any difference where they race anyway? There is never any overtaking done on the track anyway, its all done it the pit lane strategies. BORING! Moto gp is far more entertaining and exciting.

Montreal just didn't pay off the right guys with enough $$$$$$

Well I know the European tracks are close to each other, but most of those are traditional races that have been around long before these new circuits. I do NOT agree with one country having more than one GP (eg Valencia) but I think that you cannot axe traditional races just for the sake of new high paying venues.

FFS can any of for once stop trying to bend everything by saying its anti-hamilton??? each track has a contract which lasts for so many years and once the contract is over the fia either renew or try out a new track, whats wrong with that there are plenty of countries and tracks out there that should be given a chance, i admit some tracks are rubbish but nobody knows till they race and you cant jump ship before a contracts finished it wouldnt be polite. and to BADMAN you are correct in saying malayasia is close to singapore and abu dhabi is close to bahrain but arent nearly all european tracks next to each other??? why shouldnt others have a chance?

HAMILTON IS OUT OF THIS S***CKERS,,,,
I BET THESE ARE THE GUYS ARE BELIEVE IN RECISM WHO ARE COMMENTING WITH HAMILTON'S ISSUE FOR LEAVING MONTEREAL OUT...

TRY TO USE A LIL BIT OF UR KNOWLEDGE, IT'S NOT ABOUT HAMILTON UU DUMBA**S

Dropping Canada is stupid. Anyhow, the thing that really gets to me is standardizing engines. If that really gets through, I'm no longer following F1. It'd make curling and dodgeball more interesting sports than F1.

Thats it. Crappy night grand prix, No passing on a lot of tracks,now they want to equalize engines,measly 20 cars in the field, and now dropping my home grand prix that everybody loves(sure the track condition is @#$% but).
F1 is becoming NASCAR and that really really blows. Like NASCAR they should just race 1 lap and have a winner cause the rest is BULL @#$%. Enough with the old generation they screw everything up: racing,economy,food,the planet,etc. So long F1!

If I remember correctly, the City of Montreal allows for two annual races at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. One race is the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Who win take the second slot now? I remember Champ Car used to race there till they lost their spot to NASCAR. Champ Car is now defunct, but will Tony George (IRL) show an interest? Perhaps Montreal will talk to NASCAR about adding a Sprint Cup race?

i dont see y people r sayin tht they r just going against hamilton i mean u jus crnt accept any1 beatin your so called savior

Everyone is overlooking the fact that they are aiming to end the season at Abu Dhabi with what I can only assume to be a dull race with some royalty in the stands and thats about it.... NO ATMOSPHERE like you will have in Brazil for a season ender. I miss even Suzuka for the ending race because it honestly is one of the most spectacular tracks ever built, what do they do, they replace it with Fuji of course...

I'm not pleased with the direction F1 is heading.. they go and butcher all the tracks with character like Hockenheim, and then remove others such as Imola, Silverstone, Suzuka etc.. I dont mind expanding the markets, but dont you think that Malaysia is close enough to Singapore, or Bahrain close enough to Abu Dhabi not to necessitate another race there... How do they plan to fit in India and Korea when both of these tracks are finally ready?

Regards the fools who are suggesting that this has anything to do with Lewis Hamilton, why would they drop a track or add another one just to 'penalise' one single driver. He is a great driver who has his lovers and his detractors, but he is not THAT good for anyone to spend hundreds of millions to penalize him... Please get over it and keep your heads on the issue at hand, please do not turn this into Hamilton vs the world again.

I guess the removal of Montreal means I wont be attending any f1 race in the near future, I come to study in the US just as they removed the USGP and now canada is gone. shame!

I cancelled my Fox Sports programming that included SpeedTV after the Spa debacle. Tough call after 35 years watching and attending at both Spa and Candada. The auto makers sell more cars in the US than any other market. They may or may not see the connection with the slow decline in interest in F1, but regardless, probably not until sales and brand value have eroded.
