F1 to lose Mexican GP (to IndyCar?)

IndyCar will cost the promoters 1/10th of what they pay for F1

(GMM) A cloud has moved above the future of the highly popular Mexican grand prix.

The rejuvenated race at the iconic circuit in Mexico City was once again awarded the FIA prize for the best grand prix this year.

But Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has been elected the new president of Mexico, and senator Ana Gabriela Guevara now says the race could be in doubt.

"We have to figure out how to solve this situation, but it will not be by making a tax to keep this event," she is quoted by France's Auto Hebdo.

"In Mexico, there are more important things — a large part of the population lives below the poverty line. Corruption and bribes allowed the grand prix to return to Mexico City," she added.

Editor's Note: IndyCar would put on a heck of a show for 1/10th the cost and they are very interested in racing in Mexico City. It's really a no-brainer for the race promoter
