"We didn't reach an agreement... Let's see if we miss America." - Bernie Eccelstone

Good thing I made to this years USGP!

Hope to be in Montreal next year...

This is sad sad news. Looks like we'll have to travel to Montreal.

This is really bad news indeed. Bernie Ecclestone has done the same thing with the French GP in Magny-Cours which 2007 is the last season it will see the F1 GP.

Magny Cours will not be missed however, it is a terrible track. Indy has a lot more going for it.

I found Tony George's comment interesting, "In the United States, Formula One is not perceived quite the way it is around the world, It's a tough dynamic, but the future will depend upon recognizing the fact that the United States is a bit different. It's important to figure out how to make it work."

What do you guys stateside think would make F1 work for the US?

Consistancy, I think that the US is warming to F1 as people are evolving past Nascar and I think consistancy is the key to getting a good turnout...as a side note I think Ecclestone is a complete douche...

The truth of the matter is that the USGP just can't throw enough money at Formula One. The reason tracks like Suzuka, Indy, Magny-Cours have been dropped is that Bernie's got a helluva lot of mula flowin in from third-world countries and Middle East tracks/sponsors. He even threatened Silverstone right after the race.
