That is what they want us to do. I'm not happy, but we need to keep Spa alive don't we?

They say Formula One is a market which it can't be, obviously. Our market is independent, it's a sport.

I understand now that there may be some problems with that.

That position is not so interesting - because, for me, this business is about your own team winning. And Bernie has been so good I cannot imagine F1 without him.

This is exactly the direction the teams should be taking to broaden the entertainment and sporting appeal of Formula One to a global audience.

The race has not gone forever, and I'm happy that they've decided to do the re-building work - even though it means the race won't happen this year.
