Does anyone know why F1 racing quit going to the Indy Speedway?

Just found out about the F1 building a track in Texas. Why did they quit going to the Indy Speedway?


Indy spent millions on the infield track for F1, now F1 won't use it. Does anyone know what happened?|||1, As Newman said, money. FOM wanted more than Indy was willing to pay, and neither side would compromise enough to do the deal.





2, Spectacle. The infield section could be described as "mickey-mouse" at best - nowhere could an F1 car show what it was capable of, conversely, F1 cars are not designed to cope with banked corners and looked a bit slow and lame compared to Indycars on the main circuit. F1 lost out both ways.





3, The 2005 race was a mess, and the reputation of Indy as an F1 venue never recovered.|||Bernie Ecclestone wanted too much money for staging a Grand Prix there.|||I gave you a link below about the USGP in 2005. This was the race that killed F1 in the US, even though there were two more races at Indy. This race, and the criticism of the track from the drivers (turns 9 and 10 were nicknamed "Mickey" and "Mouse"), eventually led the Indy organizers to cancel the GP.|||Because Indy was rubbish!





First of all the circuit was bad, it was made up of different types of surfaces, not suitable for an F1 car.


Secondly the pit garages and buildings weren't up to the standards. They were small and rubbish.


Then there's the type of people that go there, the wrong type of people for F1.
