Austria dropped from the calendar 2004 onwards

The decision leaves me indifferent as I want to see racing on new tracks too.

I think it's a bit sad. There was always good action on that track, like first corner action and upwards towards the 90 turn. It had some good overtaking opportunities. Another european event scrapped from the calendar... :(

Next thing you know, if you still want to watch F1 races, you 'll have to wake up at 4 o clock in the morning to ba able to see them race in every corner of the world.

It doesn't make sense ...

F1 is at the base a European sport. Now they want to mondialise (sp.?) it and take it every corner of the globe.

Seems ok for the sport, but don't forget we are on a low conjuncture and economy uis bad nowadays, so won't this be another hard blow for small teams' budgets?
My two cents

The problem is, most of the recently designed tracks aren't very good, of course the old tracks that used to be good are either ruined or gone. Sepang is alright, and Melbourne is nice because it's so fast, but I miss Adelade. The Aida track in Japan was nice too, I think I would give up Monaco for another good road course on the calender.:)

Well, with capitalists at the helm of F1 motorsport, they'll do anything for publicity [and money!]

So, blame Bernie.
