Anyone else think it's a good idea?

Yup loves it

Wish they could get the races back on bbc though
Know its not possible though

How effective will a petition in be in overturning a done deal? I can't see Bernie paying to get out of a contract with SKY so he can make less money to have it stay on BBC, or he wouldn't have done the deal in the first place. The 'Free to air where possible' would be so easy for Bernie's lawyers to get round. I'd love it to stay on BBC but what's done is done - just like the football, F1 now it's new home on SKY.

I have no idea how effective a petition will be, but it's worth a try.

Sinead - didn't realise it was uk only

Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!

Read a report some where earlier this week that Bernie was considering bringing back the french GP.... but at a price.... alternate years with Spa.

EDIT: not the original report, but found something about it..... Link

To be fair Spa should be on the calander every year, not every second year.

Don't see why Bernie can't alternate France with one of the crap races... Valencia, Bahrain, Malaysia perhaps.

Too True
Although a few years ago wasnt there a rumour it would be shared with the Nurburgring and that never happened
So I hope this doesnt happen. I liked Magny Cours but not at the expense of Spa.
Spa needs to be there every year.
