Bernie on USGP

Bernie's comments before he heads off to renegotiate the USGP deal with IMS:

"It does not matter to Formula 1 if there is no Grand Prix in the US," he said. "What do we get from America? Aggravation, that's about all. If you say ïGood Morning' over there and it's five past 12, you end up with a lawsuit. We have never got any sponsors out there. The television has never taken off; we have more viewers in Malta than over there. If they want to continue having a round of the Formula 1 World Championship over there, I am happy to talk to them, which is what I will do when I get there. But I am not prepared to subsidise a race in America."
