4. Moving races out of places where there is fan support and putting them in places where nobody cares and with TV coverage at an inconvenient time for most fans.

These places are paying a lot more money for their races with far better facilities, so the alternative is no races at all

5. Number of teams/cars is dropping.

We have the same number of cars as we did at the end of 1996

Blame the manufacturers. They've driven the costs up

8. Running a closed shop instead of letting anyone enter a car.

12. Drivers who pay to drive rather than being there on talent.

Who? 19 of the 20 drivers on the grid are in there on talent, which is a far higher percentage than 10 years ago

One thing you can say about F1 management is that they dont care about the fans.

Neither do the manufacturers. They just want to make money. We're just pawns to them
