F1 Russia should be cancelled

Post by cbk57 »

Hi All

I emailed liberty media, that in my opinion the Russian F-1 race should be cancelled immediately. I think as F-1 fans we should be saying that F-1 should have nothing to do with Russia unless they pull out of Ukraine.

Agreed.

And if it does happen, I will boycott any aspects of it.

Couldn’t agree more. Nice to see that Vettel was quick to make his stand known. Hopefully the rest will follow.

It's a great opportunity to see Portugal back!! It would be a double statement: against the war and against "mehh" tracks.

Indeed. Do it now! Makes for plenty of time to arrange for another venue. And I also agree with what Eric was saying. If the Russian GP is held, as a fan and viewer if will skip that race.

Absolutely!!! :x :x :x it´s really disgusting that they race in some places, but this gets really over the top, even for F1 standards (which are already annoyingly lax) :evil: :cry:
Yes I also saw Vettel getting quite verbal about it. I like him for doing these things, truly.

PS. Is there any change.org about it or something?
and BTW, ALL MY SUPPORT TO PEOPLE FROM UKRAINE. I think there are one or two here (or used to). Also my condolences to Russians and everyone near the area.

I fully agree with everything you said there!! Plus Portugal used to be one of the coolest tracks of the year, well for me anyway :)
Cheers,

Hmmm guys let´s not miss the point, if I may suggest. :( Fun or boring tracks is a debate that is in another galaxy respect to what we´re talking about.
Russia GP should be cancelled even if it was the most amazing track in history.
BTW I had forgotten, but also Vlady uses the GP to show up... :roll: one more reason
