Monaco to be scrapped?

Pitpass has gone downhill. I too get fed up of the constant "'Pitpass' financial editor Chris Sylt" etc etc...

As much of an insight as the chap has into the sport, please drop it!! lol

Surely it's come to something when we have to be entertained during a GP by a building twinkling with multi coloured LEDs.

Like Monaco, it is a nice setting. The track has some potentially too, its certainly better than some of the other tilkedromes.

I can highly recommend F1 Fanatic for anyone who wants a good F1 site. Run by one guy who has only just given up the day job this year to concentrate on the site full time. He's well deep into race and team analysis after every GP and is a nice guy too! A Proper fans F1 site!

Doubt it highly, it's Monaco for crying out loud

I think F1 cars have outgrown the circuit anyway, aside from history and prestige it doesn't really offer much in terms of racing excitement anymore.

It does sound like Bernie is just trying to get them to dust the cobwebs off of their wallet though.

Bernie is such an expert at media attention...

I will never understand why you have to pay to have someone come and use your facilities, surely it should be the other way round. Bernie pays the track to stage a race there that day and then he gets to keep the gate money, while track keeps his money and the track-side advert money

F1 should drop Bernie

majestyk · 25 Jul 2010 at 17:49

Drop the processionfest Hungaroring. At least at Monaco if the driver makes the slightest error, he's out.

Tysonator · 27 Jul 2010 at 13:10

I agree F1 to drop bernie !
He has way too many girls hanging around him, and yes I am jealous !

10 year deal in the bag.

Never saw that coming. Wonder if they are actually paying now.

Goksly · 29 Jul 2010 at 09:25

Yeah they must be... no way Bernie would give them 10 years if they weren't... will be a fair wack less though[/speculation].

Dutch Guy · 29 Jul 2010 at 10:21

Surprise, surprise about the 10 year deal.

lol @ bernie sabre rattling in order to force them to sign.

Just like they did with Silverstone.

Is F1 intent on destroying itself?

Its fast becoming a complete mockery with its own arrogance.

The last GP was so soul destroyingly boring, and that was with me using my technique of watching the F1 on my SKY box so I can just fast forward and catch the "highlights"

I think its in serious danger of alienating both the teams and the audience, and in all honesty good riddence if it did implode.

I used to love F1 with all my heart, but its becoming less and less fun to watch now.
