Dear Nigel,
As an F1 fan in North America it makes me sick to see empty grandstands around the world for races, when we lost the GPs at Indy and Montréal. Montréal was always packed with fans and a bad year at Indy still featured 150,000 people on race day (when you have 400,000 seats it admittedly looks a bit empty). I feel as if F1 is spitting in our face, and now with all the in-fighting I actually get more excited about a local Sprint Car race at some dirt track here in the States than F1. It stinks. How is this movie going to end?

Why F1 must go back to America
It’s been Formula 1 all the way for Nigel – he started covering the sport in 1971. In the mid-1970s he worked for Graham Hill’s Embassy F1 team, before joining Autosport for whom he has written over 400 Grand Prix reports. Nigel joined Motor Sport full-time on January 1 2008. As well as reporting on F1 for national newspapers, he has written 19 books on motor racing. His insightful writing and candid interviews with the great names in racing have made him one of the recognised authorities on F1.
