Nobody is safe from Bernie's axe.

I'd hate to see Catalunya go. While unlikely to happen, Valencia has been boring and should be first to go.

I wouldn't miss Hungary if it were to be kicked.

As long as Monaco is safe, life can go on. A street race in NYC would be sooooo incredible! Frankly, this sport needs a race like that.

If Bernie drops Monaco..I kill him myself


It would be awesome if the NYC race was at night....Works for Singapore and it would make it easier to watch in Europe. ok maybe not easy to view


Another night race would be sweet though.

I still have no idea why Bernie wants a race in India...its a sh!t hole imo. I don't want to go there for work, why would I want to go for vacation?

Say what??? A street race in Manhattan? That would be sooo epic! I can't wait to see F1 drivers giving cabbies the finger and dodging potholes deeper than Bernie Ecclestones wallet. I hope they're going to equip the F1 cars with horns for grid lock traffic.

catalunya is likely gone, spain can't have two. hungary is a favorite amongst the drivers as its like a big kart circuit but it isn't locked in by any means.

monaco is the crown jewel of the calendar, it's going nowhere.

you need to take a basic economics course if you can't understand why india is on the calendar. it's a market with over a billion people, why do you think bernie pushed so hard to get in to china? i've spent several months in india, it is certainly not a shit hole if you know where to go. keep your ignorance to yourself.

nobody seems to believe this is possible but it's been in the works for several years now.

I've been to India many of times. There are a few places I would consider decent, but not many.

I do see your point though, I guess having a race there would get more people in India to watch the race(get interested in F1 as a sport), thus creating a larger market for Bernie.

I just don't see it as a reason to remove an existing race.
