Imola wants to hose F1 next year

With Monza almost certainly on it's way out (for now...remember Spa ''left'', too!), Imola has confirmed today they want to host the Italian GP next year.

Fingers crossed! Tough to overtake there, but with the new layout (huge straight again) there is more opportunity to do so. Wonderful track, and we can't not have a GP in Italy IMO.

 

+1 on there having to be an Italian GP.

But, I did lol at 'hose' versus 'host'!....

Cheers,

LOL, only just saw the error, too .

 

Nice Circuit.

Historically at San Marino, Ferrari & Williams have won eight times, McLaren six times and Benetton, Brabham, Lotus and Renault one each.

hose

What's happening with Spa? Even those years with Spa only every 2nd year were nonsense...

 

I am appalled they can't work something out with Monza but glad to see Imola possible coming back. Would like to have both tracks on the calendar

 

LOLO, even i saw that one!!!....but to"hose" the circuit could be a good idea!!!

 

I was mentioning those times, I should've been more clear . They're now full back and likely remain so.

 

LOL! It's going around! I made a stupid one this morning. Thank God we have a board full of English teachers here to red pen our posts!!

 

sjoe... I was getting paranoid.

 

It would solve a lot of problems if they *did* hose the tracks.

Lots of regulations are tied to slowing the cars down, a wet track accomplishes that, and would allow free-er car design.

 

Hey bas jaski... I knew what you meant to say, its all good! Technically that's what happened to Imola "it got hose" lol

 

I don't see how Imola can get the $$$ together to host a race vs. Monza? This is an Ecclestone push to get the Italian govt. to back the race... which will in the end work.

 

I want to see Monza without the 2 hairpins.

 

Chicanes?

 

I say it every year:

Bring back the banking! - That'll sort the men from the boys!

 

...and if it's Imola, fix Tamburelo again, pre '95.

 

spirot is correct. Bernie is trying to leverage more $ for Monza. If Monza is dropped purists such as myself will howl, but what the dwarf is after, as always, is $.

 

"hose" as in fire hose to wash away or as in urinate on... to get rid of either seem appropriate :=)

 

"Imola wants to hose F1 next year"

Too late! Bernie already did . . . .

 

Did he?...... I believe it's more popular than ever. Revenue is greater than ever.

Not bad for a Pygmy from South London.

What is the catalyst for Monza leaving? Just not willing to pay the fee or what? It really is disappointing that the big Euro tracks are under attack in replace for "exotic" locales.

 

Money.

Funny, it's one of the busiest GP's there is but still no money to pay...Tells you only one thing, doesn't it!

 

Massively unfortunate
