Abu Dhabi was behind schedule for their November 1st weekend, due to delays in building the race track. These rumours, however, have now been shut down because the planners for the Abu Dhabi races started selling tickets for the event this morning as planned. Coincidentally, November 1st is also the day the minicipal elections will take place, and Gérald Tremblay may have the chance of running his third consecutive term in office, a record currently being held by the beloved Jean Drapeau.

In my opinion, I think Montreal should just move on and forget the Formula One weekend ever existed… for now anyway. I know it’ll be back one day, when Bernie Ecclestone wakes up and gets his head out of his ass.
