Well I have given up on F1, I cannot believe the rules and regs they are putting in to try and stop a team from having runaway success. They have killed the sport in my opinion.
Have to agree. Ever since they banned skirts it's been going down hill. Group C really kicked new life in to Sports car racing in the 80s. Porsche would even sell you a car and I think you got support from the works too. Ok so till the Jags came along you had to be driving a 956 then the 962 but lets face it the works car didn't always win.
Now if they really want to level the field in F1 may be they should make a team sell their parts to other teams. So if Mclaren want to run a Ferrari engine, Ferrari have to make the same engine available at an agreed price. The same with the chassis/body. The teams know what it costs them to build and run a car. So they should be able to agree a price for the these things.
When all (well most) of the teams ran the DFV raceing was close and thrilling.
Of course you can't remove money from the equation, but it should be about how well you can prepare the car and how well you can drive it. Not how fat your wad is.
Personal when you have some huge advantage I really don't see the glory in winning.
Gimme Formula ford of Grands Prix any day. :-)
