A record number of spectators are expected at the Nürburgring, where the Luxembourg Grand Prix will be staged next weekend. Some 250.000 people are expected to attend the race on September 28 aanwezig to cheer Michael Schumacher especially. Ferrari expects to sell another 30.000 red caps at the circuit.

Bernie Ecclestone has made more threats about reducing the number of European Grand Prix. Instead of the Grand Prix in Europe he is thinking of staging more races in South-East Asia. On December 4 the European Union will decide on a possible ban on tobacco advertisement within the European Union.
