A 'fan free' Spanish GP! ?

Swine Fever Alert

There are increasing calls for governments to cancel events where large numbers of people gather together.Some medical officials are saying that the up-coming Spanish GP should be 'fan free' or even cancelled!

How will this affect not only the Spanish GP,but following races as well ?

Is there an over-reaction to the current situation ?

P.S. There have already been suspected cases of 'swine fever' in the Catalunya area.

Now, now - play nicely - this Swine Flu is nothing to be sneezed at! Anyway, if you do get any symptoms, there is a cure!!



One pack is being sent to the three artists suffering from this nasty strain of flu:
Amy Swinehouse,
Pjork and
Snoop Piggy Pig.

That is all.......

F1 will never be the same. I am never watching again, I may contract the virus through the tv.

the sniper has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Empty grandstands in Spain, it'll be just like the good old days...

We've just been to China, Bahrain and Malaysia, so I think we should be used to seeing fan free grand prix by now. I heard the swine flu threat is decreasing now anyway, so maybe we'll be alright.
