The FIA could pull from a circuit after the years approval is up, meaning that the circuit would loose 80% of it customers, thus making it a very real threat to financial lose to the circuit despite perhaps having the breakaway series income. And they circuits just couldnt afford that.
Bernie is stupid, thats the problem, he is going to make it the driver that wins the most races, not have the most points win the championship remember!?! crazy talk !!
The whole reason this is even coming about is because bernie and co. fear they have lost the majority of its fan base due to the bigger teams having far superior funds and develping a car thats alot quicker than the others. Thus making the sport not as competitive, with less overtaking and not as exciting (opions only of course)
Me, i love the sport the way it is/was. Caps are not needed just people with more balls and money
You would loose the Monaco race as they are tied into a long contract with the FIA and to stage another race in Monaco would cause even more headaches and would cost too much money unless it was the week before or after the F1 race, and I am not sure that would work.
Some of you may not be aware of this but the Monaco F1 race is the first race date set every year and then the rest of the calender is then worked out after that. Monaco has so many other events taking place during the year and also has a alot of cruise ships that come in with the tourist trade and all the cruise date shedules have to be worked out with the cruise ship companys and Monaco port etc.
