Anyone think this stops in Bahrain? Europe and America are filled with sleeper cells and what better way to get revenge than a terrorist attack on a highly visible sporting event. Personally I would feel better attending a Formula One event in Bahrain or China than I would Silverstone? As far as Circuit of the Americas, remember it's Texas and we shoot things.

Screw the Bahrain race and screw the Saudi GP. Run Imola back-to-back weekends. GO!

Can they come over here and take out some Ford Rangers? They are a scourge! Old or new, I am not picky...

Charles is doing it in style. What a beautiful car.
