Two Grand Prix World Championships?

What a disaster this would be. Hasn't the Formula One crowd learned anything from the CART/IRL split in US open-wheel motor racing? Dividing the international driving world championship series in two would ruin it.

Both sides here need to stop grandstanding and come to their senses.

Hillary and RIAA, eat that!!
