I hope a financial solution is found as COTA 100% deserves to be the US Grand Prix
If it comes to be and we have no '16 US PG then it's a very dark day for F1 in the USA
The way I see it, if it can't happen in Austin, then the US will not have a GP until Bernie is dead
Stay tuned

Announcing the return, Ghosn said: "Renault had two options: to come back at 100 percent or leave. After a detailed study, I have decided that Renault will be in Formula 1, starting 2016.
