North America now has 0 F1 races, ridiculous!!! I always wanted to go to the Canadian GP and now I may never get that chance! The closest is Brazil? Really? Canada usually has a lot of excitement too.

what a rubbish decision
Not to mention the 75 million dollars the GP brings to the local economy.

Max Mosley warns on future of Formula One | The AustralianFORMULA One will only survive for one more year unless drastic spending cuts are implemented, FIA president Max Mosley has warned.
F1 still has so many fans that I doubt it would go down entirely. Sure, the sport is way too expensive for privateers but I'd think they're willing to go to drastic measures to keep F1 alive if a couple more teams have to quit.
And on topic, I wouldn't be surprised to see F1 back in North America in a few years. We've seen how quickly the race calendars change nowadays.
I wonder how much more they can take. Here is an interesting article on the current state of total chaos at the FIA: Rear Wheel Skid
Note the shot of Massa's pit malarkey, it is quite superb.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

F1 concenrates on going on street-circuits nowadays... This season, they didn't race in indianapolis... Then next year, canada... What's next???

The circuit, at Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Notre-Dame, a man-made island in the St. Lawrence River that is part of the city of Montreal, was originally named the Île Notre-Dame circuit. It was renamed in honour of Canadian Formula One driver Gilles Villeneuve, father of Jacques Villeneuve, following his death in 1982. The venue hosted the Champ Car World Series Grand Prix of Montreal from 2002-2006.
What I meant about a street circuit is when some sections of the track are also used as a public road...
Just like Monaco

Yeah you got it ZeTurbo - the atmosphere is absolutely great there - it is all over the city, the radio, the TV, all downtown... it is so cool. Couple that with the great food, great atmosphere, and good weather, and you have a great event. Hopefully this will pass and it will be back on the calender. If this is gonna be a long term loss of the CGP it may be a very long time until I see another F1 race in person.
Ah well, as Wouter stated, Mosport is still here, and Bowmanville is only 1 hour away as opposed to 7 or so for Montreal.
