For once Wizzo, only for once please let me swear for this great loss. It used to be my favorite pass time while running through the videos, specially the Montage  :fool: :fool: :fool:

Like so many before it, another F1 site dissappears without a trace.

Looks like FOM shut them down.

It's a sad day, people.

The time has finally come, after 13 years, for F1archives to bring down the garage door.
It was always a matter of time, and I'm surprised it lasted as long as it has.
I received the cease email this morning, and I'm beginning the process of taking the website down.
I thank you all for the support over the years, and I've enjoyed brining you the content that I have.

Greg.

I received the same cease and desist letter when I fist started this site so I changed the name from F1Wizard to GPWizard which satisfied the lawyers. However they made it very clear that they would monitor the site and that the comments of the owner would be closely scrutinised.

Pardon me, (and F1 Archives), for trying to promote Formula 1.

Crazy!

What is it with these morons ? First the FIA jump on our Wiz over the name for his site(steam hammer to crush a peanut) no offence meant to you Wiz, then the BBC try to deny British tv licence payers the pleasure of motorsport. Now once again the allegedly F1 loving FIA rears it's ugly head again and deny us the chance of watching archive races.

Notice to the FIA, this is my personal opinion and mine alone.

Methinks you should be directing you're justifiable anger at the FOM (Bernie's mob) rather than the FIA (Todt's gang).  ;)

F1 Wizard was probably Bernie's secret nickname, so he took exceptional offence to that one  ;) ;) 

Bernie is the Monsanto of F1.  He obviously bought up all the rights he could get his hands on, and spends probably at least as much lawyering up every time someone wants to broadcast something his stamp is on.

Worst part is, he would rather deny us access to things like the videos on the archive site, than simply post them on his own site.  I guess that most of what was on F1Archives is not even available for sale.
