This really SUCKS! I can't believe they won't have the race because if it is canceled, someone is going to have to pay someone else a LOT of money.

Think about the number of airline tickets, Hotels and car reservations. There is just too much money on the line for this race to be canceled.

I hope.

I think that they are just selfish considerations on the part of the drivers.

Wall Street is back in business, everyone has been asked to carry on with their business as normally as possible.

Now is probably one of the safest times to travel to or in America. It is unlikely that these levels of security will be able to be maintained for too long.

Why is it the "sick joke" that Ralf Schumacher is calling it? He raced at Monza on Sunday, where is the difference?

I would have thought that there is more chance of them being injured in the car than any thing else!!!

They should just get on with it and help the whole of America get their lives back on track and as normal as possible....

Just my $0.02...

If Max Mosley says the US F-1 Race will happen, I believe him.
He has also made it clear that drivers and teams will be penalized if they do not participate.

See ya there
