Come on – where’s the equity? We’ve put up with it for long enough and dont complain (much :) )

It would be a shame for Australia to lose this event…I know we have Indy, V8s, Moto GP and a host of other world class races to keep our racing apetites wet, however F1 whether you love it or not is the benchmark of world racing.

I say get rid of F1 if Bernie isnt happy, how about have 2 Indycar races in Oz instead, 1 in Melbourne at the start of the year and also Surfers at the other end. Much more entertaining racing than F1 with more possible winners. Plus Indy has always run at a profit. Even when Champcar was in its death throws.

Or even A1 taking over, its a much better spectacle than F1 at the moment.

Alas, with gutless labour scum running the place, it aint going to happen.

Fancy the Euros complaining about having to watch the GP late at night, its what C9 and C10 have fed us for decades

Cheers

F-0

But it doesn’t change the fact that, assuming the quotes are correct of Bernie’s to the Daily Mail, he is acting like a right F*wit.

Tom Jakovljevic said it right (above). How can Bernie hav anything OTHER than ulterior motives in mind when speaking to the press, or making any other statement. The man is a money making machine, and sadly it could come at the loss of fans of the sport itself.

Anthony if you don’t like F1 you don’t have to watch it, but plainly, other people in their millions, do. Particularly in Asia, as someone mentioned, much of which is in a near-identical time zone to us, and, in an apparent contradiction with Bernie’s own motives, would appear to be putting Asia (and those of us in Oceania) on the outer, when this is clearly the flourishing market for F1 – it is clearly not the US – just look at the results of the Indianapolis F1 in ‘05.

Sorry, Bernie’s words just reek of a self-obsessed, childish w@nker.

Rant over

If bernie sees part of F1s future is in china and india (2 most populous and economically growing nations), wouldn’t a race in a similar timezone (ours) to theirs be a good idea
?

I say bring on some good competitive touring car events or even better a GT500 series downunder.

The only thing exciting about them is whether those who are cheating will get pinged. Usually they don’t, or if they are, they drag the case through the courts (yes, believe it or not the cheats do exactly that) for so long no-one cares anyway.

Funny thing is, no-one cares anyway, to start with :)

I do, however, object to the tobacco advertising.

F1 died when Mansell, Prost, Senna…. were not around or retired.

Let me know when F1 is as exciting as Moto GP is and I’ll give it another try.

If F1 costs the public one cent – I say scrap the skank of a race.

I’m sure a Journalism graduate would have had a lesson about plagiarism, but since I’m not such a person, I’m only guessing that professional standards do exist.

Another publication then re-publishes the invented “truth” and so on.

So every time a lie is published, it is explaind as being satirical, and only a potential truth??

Still very poor form, no matter how you try to get out of it. Like a kid with its hand in the biscuit barrel, steadfastly denying it.

you know you shouldn’t report based on what other people have reported right? You should always do your own research, not rely on the research of others, thats just straight up textbook journilism!

Fox Sports today has done a thorough report on the issue that lays all the facts out without any senseationalism, maybe car advice should use this article as a guide of how to properly report on an issue? I’ve usually found car advice to be a good source of information and it has increasingly become a more professional journilistic source however this particular article throws car advice straight back into amature status in my mind…
