...so drama in Texas may kill the return of a Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in 2012. Was it triggered by the New Jersey announcement, delays in decision making, disagreements in negotiations? Does it really matter? Where Formula 1 is involved, these sorts of disagreements usually don't end well for the facility management. F1 has money, leadership that surpasses even Bruton Smith in sheer stubbornness, and the ability to be even more frustrating at times than NASCAR leadership at its worst.
The facility currently on hold in Austin (Circuit of the Americas) was designed specifically for F1, although both MotoGP and V8 Supercars are also scheduled to race there (both premier series in their respective markets, of which the US is not part of anymore than it is currently part of F1's).
We'll have to see how this plays out, whether it's 2012, 2013, or a big gravel pit in South Texas while the real racing goes on in New Jersey (?)
