WAKE UP AUSTIN BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE and tell Bernie to go packing:

The city might make money overall, but the promoters will be lucky just to break even. Melbourne loses 30+ million per Grand Prix.

Of course we will miss Mr Bernie Echolstone when he is no longer doing what he does best which is to deliver the heroin addicts their drug..
If you lQQk at it this way, he is a good human being...Okay whatever you lot!
