“No to the French F1 Grand Prix project in Nice”. The petition launched a few days ago by Collectif Citoyen 06 has already almost reached its goal of 1,000 signatures. Proof of the concern aroused by this project revealed this weekend in the daily L’Equipe by F1 boss Stefano Dominicali, to replace the French Grand Prix at Le Castellet (Var). “You are probably not aware but there is an incredible project with Nice, which wants a Grand Prix. It’s great because it proves that other destinations in your country are interested in F1. We will look at the files and study them carefully.”
Estrosi does not close the door
Contacted, the mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi does not confirm but does not close the door either. “It is pleasant to cause envy rather than pity. It is a great encouragement for the local economy and the dynamism of our merchants, restaurateurs and hoteliers.“. An enthusiasm that the Collectif Citoyen 06 association does not share.
We say NO to this totally irresponsible project. And you?
“While global warming is accelerating and will make life for the inhabitants of Nice and the Alpes-Maritimes stifling or even impossible, while the city of Nice is very noisy and polluted (500 premature deaths per year), Mayor Christian Estrosi is multiplying projects contrary to environmental, health and social emergencies: support for the Nice airport extension project, and today the Formula 1 Grand Prix de France in Nice (the mayor is also president of the Grand Prix de France at the Castellet)… No, the territory should not revolve exclusively around economic objectives. Because our health and our well-being, but also the future of our children, must absolutely take precedence over these insane old-world projects, we say NO to the totally irresponsible project of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Nice! And you?“
