This is definitely Massa's chance to shine, but I'm extremely annoyed on how Silverstone has gotten away with not upgrading their track while tracks around the world have to constantly upgrade to keep the F1 going there, but I love Silverstone, I just don't like the extremely unfair practices. (a little animosity from losing the U.S. Grand Prix for no reason). F1 overly favors the British, and they don't even try to hide it, and yes i understand the British history behind F1, but get with the times.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!


From 2000-2007 I had the convenience of driving less than an hour and being at the USGP at Indy. You can be sure that the reason is money. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway spent two years and millions of USD to accomodate F1 and yet we now have no race. There is a line from Ecclestone in the F1 Saga documentary where he states that "F1 is so good it destoys all other forms of racing". I guess he was upset that he was proved wrong here.
