Bernie will eventually go with FOTA one way or the other i think. Either everyone will stay under the umbrella of F1 as it is now and they will strike a deal, or Bernie will move to the side of FOTA, :censored: off the FIA and they will still be F1 in any case. FOTA would then take control of the regs and everyone will be happy.
I would like to see a Grand Prix in both the US and Canada. An option for Europe is to have the European GP moving from year to year. Every 5 or 6 years each country could host 2 Grand Prix's.

Doesn't the FIA own the name Formula 1? I believe that the FIA sold the commercial rights to F1 for 100 years to Bernie/CVC but not the right to take the Formula 1 name elsewhere so the Formula 1 name will remain with the FIA regardless. Formula 1 and the FIA are inextricably linked.

At least that's the impression that I get from what I have read about the inner workings of F1!

What's all this business of 100 years commercial rights? surely it's a lease if limited to 100 years?
