    Yes, all great tracks!!! Shame Bernie and co don't care about the fans of the sport and the history that these tracks have given.

    I'm afraid it's all about money. Plain and simple.

    The Belgian Grand Prix does not attract enough people to allow them to be sure of meeting the huge price they pay for the 'honour' of staging the event. Alas, this is going to become an ever greater problem when the Murdoch long-term plan becomes reality.

    Bernie and his entourage have no real interest in the wishes of the fans or the venues; so long as between them they keep paying up - in one way or another…

    Dark cloud, silver lining: at least it gives us a chance to get Magny-Cours back if it alternates with Spa

    I like the logic too but unfortunately 'likes' and 'dislikes' are entirely equivalent equations to Bernie: since they can be treated as unreal numbers, they both give an answer of zero.

    With such a monopoly on the game, the influence of 'Chance' and 'Community Chest' have little or no impact upon his dominant, controlling position; particularly as he now has further insurance with Murdoch's 'Get out of Jail free' card&#8230;

    Bernie doesn't give a **** what we think. All he wants is more money! If he could get 1 billion pounds for Valencia, he would take it in 0.0000001 seconds.

    Why don't we all donate some money to the spa-francochamps circuit, so they can afford to hold the race. It's my favourite circuit, it would be awful not have it on the calendar.

    Doesn't there come a time when a person has enough money, and starts to give something back to the system that made them wealthy in the first place?

    I believe Bill Gates is giving massive amount of his profits to charity these days.

    For **** sake he has more than he could possibly spend, Bernie you can't take it with you, you ****ing idiot.

    Gates is giving it to charity for tax reasons. Don't get him confused as a good guy, he's not.

    I'm not sure I care why gates is giving the money away at least it is doing some good even if it's for the wrong reasons and he isn't one of the good guys, being in the computer industry myself I know how much he is disliked.

    That's what some people also forget with the TV Deal as well.
