I am not sure that will happen - Ant seems to be a pretty mature kind of guy...

Interestingly, Mexico seems to claim themself to be included in the 2006 F1 GP. According to BBC:


Mexican officials insist they have agreed a five-year deal to stage a Formula One race in Cancun from 2006.
A new 5km track, designed by veteran race course architect Hermann Tilke and costing £44m, will be built just south of Cancun's international airport.

"This track offers some very, very high speeds with sharp curves that make cars brake at speed," said Tilke's representative Dirk Schneider.
Mexico last hosted an F1 race at the Hermanos Rodriguez Autodrome in 1992.

The news that Mexico has been handed the chance to stage an F1 race will no doubt increase speculation about the future of the British Grand Prix. The race has been listed provisionally on the 2005 calendar, but F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone said it would be axed after a breakdown in negotiations with the circuit's owners.

Luis Silveira, whose company Grupo Promotor Inversiones Caribenos is involved in the Cancun deal, said the site was not being viewed as an alternative to the British GP.

"That is not the intention," he said. "The issue was not even raised of taking the place of existing dates.
"What was discussed and what came out was a new date, a new commitment, not a substitution."

YES Mexico want a race in Cancun,
turkey wants a race
south africa wants a race
UAE wants a race
UK wants a race
Russia wants a race

More races less good drivers, worse cars = BAD f1 seasons coming up.

Coulthard to go to Williams? since Button's been held back?
So it would be JPM <-> DC swap?

[SPEEDCORE]

Coulthard is an outside chance, thou whoever gets the seat will need to look again in 2006 since Williams is keen in getting Button back.
