They stopped bringing a rig to the Supercross and Motocross nationals and stopped making custom tires for the teams for the upcoming season also. I doubt they sell enough street tires to offset the hassle of supporting F1 and roadracing so why bother?

They're tired of paying Count Ecclestone for the privilege.

Everyone should leave F1 now that cab driver Jensen Button is World Champ . Someone needs to form a new premier series as has been threatened before , so that Bernie the Tyrant can be ousted for good . Selfish accountants shouldn't run racing . F1 hasn't been the same since the days of BRM and Tyrrell .
