But now, they have cancelled the canadian GP. As an american, it seems that they don't care about us any more or Canada for that matter. We can't afford to pay Bernie's outrageous prices, so he just goes where they can. I think Bernie should look at the news, the global economy isn't in great shape. I still have Indy Car for next year, but it is NOT fORMULA 1. I still will listen to your great podcasts, but as far as getting up on weekends to watch F1, not going to happen. It is a shame that I have to give up a sport that I truly enjoy, but if Bernie & Max are not going to show us any love, then I can't give them any in return. Peace.

I doubt there are any GPs with more fan support. I can't begin to tell you how p***ed off the F1 fan base in Canada is. I think we can safely say F1 is now dead in NA.

Clearly, F1 doesn't care about NA, so then, why should NA care about F1? Let's add to that that F1 doesn't care about the fans in general, and it doesn't care about making transparent decisions, or even fair decisions. So, again, why should anyone in NA care about F1? Let's not forget, one of F1's largest competitors, the IndyCar series, is based in the US and races in Canada. And it seems, nowadays, they're making better decisions than F1 each day. F1 shouldn't take it's position in NA so lightly or it'll lose it altogether. And I'm sure the manufacturers will "love" that. Total BS.
