Dickheads. They dropped Belgium and then saw the error­ of their ways. Fingers crossed they bring it back.
God­ bless the FIA and the dreaded gimp. How long will these­ imbeciles be allowed to govern?

i think the FIA have realized Hamilton might win at­ canada. They can not think of any more ways to penalize­ him and hatched a plan with the red car team

I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next­ person and there have been some truly dodgy things­ going on this year. But to suggest they've done­ this just to disadvantage LH is way OTT.
It's got­ to be financial, clearing the way for India and­ it's Tiger economy.

Another help for Ferrari.Canada GP (track) is Mclaren­ Favor also Spa in October has more chance of rain Which­ is Ferrari weaknes and Mclaren is beter on rain.So they­ move
her in August which has less chance of rain And­ Turkish is moved in hoter June. And for Abu Dhabi is­ design By Ferrari spects.So much of FIA and there­ Ferrari.

It makes sense if you ask me, the track condition­ hasn't been great for the last two years, and they­ keep saying that F1 is trying to cut costs well if you­ ask me not travelling all the way to amerrican is a way­ of cutting costs, although they would be better if they­ just did all non european races first and then did the­ european ones afterwards.

Living in North America this is not the way to win over­ fans, especially since we do not have race in the­ states and Canada was the closest we could go see F1. I­ guess that The FIA and Bernie due not think that the US­ and Canada need to have a race. The opinion of F1 in­ the states is already low this will just make it worse.­ Good job on another bad decision, I guess that is all­ the FIA and Bernie can due this year is make bad­ decisions and stupid comments.

That is shocking really is, Canadian GP is a track i­ look forward to, but as some1 said they take away a­ track where Hamilton is dominant way not take of­ Bahrain? or a Ferrari track?

this is terrible it was one of my faourites

As Post 42 pointed out, N.A is a huge market for the­ top F1 teams and as Henry Ford used to point out, WIN­ on Sunday, SELL on Monday. Don't think the big guys­ will fail to notice that. And to Post 44, bang on the­ money, F1 really has become irrelevant in North America­ and you can bet the big guys will be investing more and­ more in IRL and NASCAR to make sure it's THEIR cars­ that are selling on Monday...

The sad fact is that F1 is perceived by some­ governments as Glamorous and an indicator of how­ advanced and "Westernised" they have become­ (like it's a good thing). In order to advertise the­ fact they are willing to throw huge amounts of cash in­ Bernie's direction. Which is of course like Manna­ from heaven to him. The more established countries only­ see it as a Minority sport when compared to football­ and so see no need to give it financial support.
Sadly­ this appears to be the direction the sport under­ Bernie's direction is heading.
The older­ "Racing circuits" will continue to be­ replaced with "Glamorous" Government­ supported TV friendly tracks
As far as America is­ concerned they'll just continue to play on their­ own, because then they are guaranteed to win.

I wonder when the car/team manufacturers will finally­ put their foot down. Honda, Toyota, Mercedes, Ferrari,­ and BMW all need North America (their biggest market)­ to sell the cars that pay for the F1 teams. America is­ what put Red Bull on the map. Someone needs to cancel­ the Bernie and Max Show!

Hey all!, Who's gonna be watching the best race of­ all, this weekend. Bathurst!
For you guys in Europe,­ come on down some time and see what a wonderful track­ it is, and what great racing happens. And for the­ people from North America, Bathurst is wilder track­ than your great Laguna Seca.

To the author of comment 44-what drivel!!!

Like Nascar, they went west to California only to find­ the fans did not follow years later. Same will happen­ in F-1 I hope. After the honeymoon is over for the new­ tracks reality will set in. I know I'm not going to­ Asia, or the Middle East for F-1. Montreal will be out­ Millions of $$ that the local shops/resturants/hotels­ will greatly miss. The atmosphere in the streets on the­ race weekend is/was unreal. Like the economy things­ have to hit bottom before anyone thinks there's a­ problem. Europe/GB you guys are on the hot seat now­ more than ever. Monza here I come......

Just another indication of how irrelevant F1 is­ becoming. One race in the entire America's; simply­ amazing. Race tracks that alllow no real racing;­ passing, and soon cars that are likely to be different­ in name only. It is getting to the point where­ watching a bunch of seniors driving vintage racers is­ far more exciting. F1 had better watch out because­ NASCAR is likely to come in and take over.

So we have two Spanish races including boring Valencia­ but have lost the entertaining Circuit Gilles­ Villeneuve. As Bob Dylan said 'Money doesn't­ shout, it screams'.

1) I'm sure the Montreal track would have been­ fixed by next year.
2) The problem at Indy was tire­ construction not track
3) They fly the same teams to­ many locations for single races.
4) North America is a­ huge market for BMV, Mercedes and Ferrari

I think they­ are just clearing the way for another deep pocket­ event.

Really?

Very short sited of Bernie and company. When are the­ Red Cars and Mercedes (along with Toyota, etc.) going­ to put their foot down and DEMAND racing in North­ America (their largest sales market)? As previously­ stated, with the reunification of the IRL, the North­ American market again has a viable open wheel­ alternative to F1. Though IRL does not excite me as­ much as F1 in theory, at least their is overtaking and­ the races have not turned into the processional that F1­ is becoming more and more. I attended the Belle Isle­ Grand Prix (IRL) again this year and the event was fun­ and affordable for me and my two young daughters. Plus­ the autograph session with the IRL drivers on Saturday­ was a big hit with my 10 year old Helio fan. Though I­ am no fan of Tony George, I must say that the­ availability of the drivers to the fans is a great­ marketing move to build the series again to try to get­ back to the days when CART was the top series in the­ US. Bernie and Max need to open their eyes to the­ issues they are creating that will make F1 a complete­ non-issue to the North American market......just an­ oddity that is brought up in reports on the SPEED­ Channel informing us of the latest screw ups by Bernie­ and the FIA to ruin the sport even further. It is time­ for the manufactures to gang up to break the­ stranglehold that has been holding the racing series I­ love most.
