A good race. I now hope for anybody other than the dominant racer. One team's domination is very bad for the sport. And speaking of bad for the sport, there is Bernie . . .
"The last time Germany disappeared from the calendar was in 1955. The race's history stretches back to 1926. Only Belgium and Italy have held races for longer.
Oh, and France, but it lost its race seven years ago and has next to no hope of a return.
France is where motor racing started. It held the first grand prix in 1906. And yet when the country could not come up with a financial deal to sate the ever-increasing demands of Bernie Ecclestone,
F1's tsar had no compunction about cutting it free. So much for the value of heritage and history.
Ecclestone has also said he will not renew Italy's deal when it expires next year, claiming it was been "disastrous" from a "commercial point of view".
To many, an F1 calendar without Monza is unthinkable. But then that's what people thought about Germany, too.
Many within F1 believe Ecclestone's priorities are out of whack, that too much focus is given to profit and not enough to what is good for the sport . . . "
