the overpaid F1 circus has ended for another year. this time it went down to the last race, no doubt better for the hosts of the last couple of venues as something to actually see racing for than a series that was over half way through the season.
so, Rosberg finally won a title, then inside a month says he is retiring. that means next year they wont be able to advertise 'the 2016 champion'.
more news, France is to host a round in 2018 at Paul Ricard, after 10 years out after being unable to fund the event. surprisingly as Mr Ecclestone has stepped aside, who owns the Paul Ricard circuit? the Ecclestone family trust!!
Germany has dropped out for next year but might come back for 2018, time to save up??
Silverstone are thinking about the expense of staging after 2019.
as a final thought, for bike racing fans, if Paul Ricard host F1, presumably the circuit that currently hosts endurance 'the Bol d'or' and solo events, and the odd touring car event, will make changes to a perfectly good layout. good job Assen is too narrow.
