The end of Valencia?

[Brogan]

And now for some good news.

The Valencia government wants to "renegotiate" the current deal. By that I presume they mean they want to pay less.
Let's hope Bernie sticks to his guns as usual and Valencia end up leaving the calendar.

Well, I can dream can't I?

Oh what a pity - looks like the BBC will have one less race to show then...

You can imagine Flavio is on the blower to BE already.

The end of Valencia!?!?

We have a German champion again though so I'm betting Austria or Luxemberg will reappear before long.

Worst circuit in the history of circuits Bernie should get rid of this venue as soon as possible and add the newly designed Imola again...

 

[Greenlantern101]

OOooohh Yes Please. Can we have Turkey back.
More likely he would try and cram in another Non-European race. Mexico anyone.

 

[RasputinLives]

I don't mind Mexico - they have a history with the sport, a large fan base and have one driver with another as a reserve so I wouldn't object to them getting their Grand Prix back.

its your Bahrain's, Abu Dhabi's, Quebec's and Iran's I object too.

The BRICS nations are Brazil, Russia, India, China and ????

South Africa

F1 goes where the money is.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Yup Mexico City was a fine track, I only have vague memories of it as I wuz young at the time. I would rather it went to somewhere the national dictatorship don't shoot their fellow countrymen.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

This is great news if this was going to happen, all we need now is this to happen at the circuit de catalunya aswell and we'll have the two worst tracks of the year off the F1 calender.

 

[Greenlantern101]

I would rank Bahrain as worse than Catalunya.

The end of Valencia?

Hopefully....

 

[teabagyokel]

This is the counterweight to the "lose half of Spa" that we need...

 

[mjo]

Oh no. How sad.

 

[gethinceri]

One fewer race on the BBC = more for my SKY £10.00

 

[mjo]

I think this year will be the last one for it and then it will stop.

 

[Slyboogy]

Hopefully...

I was willing to give Valencia the benefit of the doubt with DRS introduced this season. But TBH i aren't sorry to see the back of it, i feel asleep after 20 laps of watching it!

 

[MCLS]

Valencia could be going? Amount of people who want it to stay Everyone else ...........and so on and so forth. In all seriousness it was a race that was trying to cash in on the popularity of Alonso and failed pretty miserably, even DRS + KERS couldn't make this race interesting.

 

[Slyboogy]

I found the races there entertaining...the ones where the tumbleweeds raced each other.
