    When Schumacher was Champion there were 2 races in Germany (Hockenheim & Nurburg) and 2 races in Italy (Monza & Imola). In the Alonso era we have 2 races in Spain (Barcelona & Valencia). Does this mean that now Lewis is champion there will be 2 races in Britain? Like hell there will:
    Looks like we'll be lucky to get 1 F1 race in the country where most of the teams are based. Maybe there should be 1 in Britain and 1 in Switzerland so Lewis can have a race in front of his fans from the land of his birth and 1 race at his home country?!

    If Hamilton wins 9 titles in the next 4 year and builds the track himself, then you can have 1 Britsh GP.

    You're welcome.

    Fair enough! If Lewis winning means we manage to keep 1 British GP I'll be happy.

    You have to allow tobacco ads.

    Smoking stunts the growth. Bernie is all in favor of that. ;)

    Thats about right!! Not a bad idea about Switzerland, although the fact that motor racing has been banned since 1955 could be a bit tricky.

    I thought Sland was going to "review" that ruling a few years ago. I guess it didn't take?

    IMO no country should have more than 1 race it's stupid. I like how global F1 is I can't wait for India to join. We just need to bring a US GP back at a decent venue. Indy sucked so bad a Las Vegas or Miami street race would be so sweet.

    I just hope we get to keep 1 British GP and I think Lewis being champ should help the cause. I imagine the 2009 GP will sell out very quickly!
