[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 558082, member: 185281"] It's a f***ing joke, to be blunt. What is F1 about? Cars. Cars, cars, cars. And crucially, cars with [b]different[/b] perspectives on design. FIA should be encouraging innovation, not suffocating it. Also, if I could be so bold, why is it so important that F1 has eternally uncompetitive teams such as Force India? If you want to give more drivers a sporting chance of competiting, why not allow teams to have more than 2 cars? Ferrari, Toyota and McLaren could easily put out 4 cars each GP, and Red Bull are more or less doing it on the cheap at the moment! If you're looking at cost cutting, why not make it standard practice that the 3 top teams have to make their engines* available for sale/auction to the 3 bottom teams every year? The FIA, ultimately, are looking at ways to make money for themselves by having designing tenders and such other arrangements routed through their authority. If this is the future of F1, then in my mind it was a dark day for top level European open-wheel racing when the team/manufactuers signed the Concorde Agreement. *[u]Last[/u] year's engine, obviously.
