Tell the little bastard to get an arab passport of some sort and go and play with his bucket and spade in the sand and leave the bBitish grand prix alone. If found guilty of treason hang him !! its an old british tradition for treason looking for someone to pull the rope I will quite happly do so. Remove the BRITISH grand prix from the calender you must be jokeing!! try adding another one the ENGLISH GRAND PRIX sounds pretty goo to me

with the outrageous levels of patronage and political intrigue in that branch of the sport, it's anybodys guess what the motivations are for decisions like that being made. I'd hazard a guess that it's intended to put pressure on someone/corporate entity (for who knows what reason), and that individual(s) will fold at the last minute and it will all have been a storm in a teacup. There's too much at stake for all parties involved to disrupt the status quo. Tradition has F-1-all to do with it I'm inclined to think. It has and always will be about revenue and power. Bums in seats and media/sponsorship with lashings of political/corporate influence. We drivers tend to think it's about us and the fans think it's about the sanctity of the sport itself but it's really just about greed. I'm just in it for the seat-time. Or perhaps I'm being a tad cynical. Look on the bright side, if it wasn't for ruthless corporate greed there probably wouldn't be formula in the 21st century. Sanctity is for non-shareholders it seems. Even at the lowly level of racing I'm in, the club politics are ridiculous.
