I don't know why anyone thinks they can get a fair shake from Bernie.

If he was willing to cut the French GP and Silverstone, Korea doesn't stand a chance.

You mean like that Quali in India will be at 04:30 tomorrow morning and the race at 05:30 our time?  :lazy:

Hardly Bernie's problem if the Korean's got their sums drastically wrong, the contract and the race still remain good if they pay what they agreed. Much different from other places where the new infrastructure and upgrades, added to their contract by Bernie, made it impossible to acheive even a break even from the venture.  >:D

I get a lunchtime race on Sunday...I'll have to time the Salmon on the BBQ just right (kidding - probably more like grilled cheese or something)  ;)

Jugirl, I think Korea will be cut for New Jersey or Russia, both of which should be at an easier time for you to watch than Korea.

Sounds good to me Ali  :good:

Problem is with that Ian is I have a 3 year old alarm clock that is always up before me...and too early  :'(

Only one I have seen in peace all year has been Canada...thanks to the long stoppage whilst she went bed ;)
