Russia has no solid plans to build an F1 facility. South Africa's only two international grade circuits will not be holding races anytime soon.

Ofcourse it should.If they wish to scrap a race then it should be Silverstone that has the lousiest facilities in the world.

Imola should stay on the calendar.
How long has it been since we last had a race without the safety car coming in?

Well, I never had the safety car come up my street all day yesterday, but that is hardly a reason to hold a GP there. I am only trying to be facetious here

but thinking back, Imola is often remembered for the death of Senna and Ratzenberger.

I think now is the time to sort the good tracks from the lousy ones. Only retain a track that has at leaast two locations where overtaking can occur - can all others. Keep Monaco as an exception only because of its historical value. Well, I just havn't the heart to suggest canning Monaco, but if you must, then so be it.

We are talking about races where it is interesting, exciting, and so on. Malaysia has been criticised by many, but let's be honest, we have some great races there.

Actually, I value races that are decided by speed and pit stop strategy over races that are decided by accidents, safety car situations and penalties.

No.

The current track is a hatchett job, you can't pass and there should only be one race in any country.

It's no worse than most of the other F1 tracks, I don't know why its being specially targeted other than the fact that there are two Italian GPs.

Sodemo · 21 Apr 2003, 16:53 (Ref:575753)

Imola should only stay on the calendar if they are forced to go through with their plans to improve the track, to encourage more overtaking.
The plans I refer to are the modifications to Villeneuve/Tosa and The Bassa/Alta chicanes.
