Bernie wants races that Europeans can watch...

[TheOriginalGT40]

I see that Bernie is trying to force Australia to run their event as a night race or else he will not renew their contract from 2010. The reason is...

Bernie wants to make sure that far away races are viewed at a more sensible time for the European fans who are by far the most avid watchers of F1.

I have an answer for you Bernie...

Let's have more races in Europe, this is where your fan base is, so stop pulling the plug on some of the best races in Europe. Also, with soooo many teams being based in the UK, why are we not given two races? When Hamilton becomes World Champion in the coming years, can we expect to see two races here in the UK?

IMHO Bernie is an Arse.

night races FFS? whats next 'special stages'

SO let me get this straight, he's trying to stop all the european races, to allow more in the rest of the world, but at the same time he wants them run at a time we can all watch them on tv

Well it's all aboyut money isn't it. Tobacco sponsorship being banned showed he hasn't got the power over european gov that he wants. So he holds races in countries that are easier to persuade with a few $$$. Then he needs to keep the money from the TV, so wants the races to be held when the most TV watching happens. It's all about greed...that said being greedy has worked for him.
