Brazilians short of cash for Interlagos safety work
It remains to be seen whether the FIA will withdraw the race from the calendar. There are commercial pressures for the race to happen as the Brazilian event is the only race run in South America but the FIA is keen to make sure that safety issues are not compromised by financial demands.
We will have to wait and see whether the safety required is a request or a demand. In all probability there will be a compromise with some of the work being done for the 2002 race and the rest being completed in 2003.
