good advice there Rusty, and you should probably tell Tony to check his wrists and pockets and count his fingers after shaking hands with Bernie!

Fingers crossed that Tony and Bernie get this one right. Tony should keep in mind that new F1 tracks are already on the build in Korea and India so the competition is increasing.

Heh, nice one klicks!

Agree Gunner - I hope they can work something out so we keep 2 races in North America. Rusty's point is very valid - two greedy men (and both have huge egos too) trying to get a better deal. I'd like to hear their conversations, maybe a new definition of 'civil' war.
