It'd be a fantastic advert for London, priceless. Can't see it happening!

London doesn't need an advert.

If want to do this, how about it being staged in another part of the country.
This country is ridiculously Londoncetric. .

Because no one from the outside world cares about anywhere else other than the capital city and it's got the most recognisable landmarks for what would be an amazing backdrop because lets face it the racing on street circuits is st.

Yes, but isn't this why the Korean Grand Prix is a waste of time? International audiences want to identify a national GP with their images of that country. Racing past Big Ben or Tower Bridge, yes. Racing past the Angel of the North or Swansea Town Hall, no.

Once again Bernie finds a way to keep the money printing carousel going.

So (with much media hype and positive spin for F1) Bernie "allows" London to put on a race, jacks up the fees (once again) which will this time probably be paid at least in part by a gullible Boris Johnson (cos it's good for London you know)

Meanwhile perfectly excellent and safe race circuits are left to die further in the country where F1 was actually born, and in a few years time Bernie (if he is still alive) will just get bored and demand another circuit in India, or Turkey, or Melbourne - or wherever some plank or stupid Government with big pockets and no sense - bribes him to move the ridiculous procession to them. London will get dropped just like India did and faster than you'd scrape doggie do-do off your shoe.

For fk's safe Formula One is processional enough without having another street race... I absolutely despair at the stupidity of the people who keep outbidding each other to give Bernie money for this st. He only gives it to his fking spoiled daughters anyway...

pretty close to the truth.

I hope it never happens - there are exceedingly few 'good' street circuits, it's just about hype and money.

Not in London.

Why do you ask?
