It surfaced a while back, just after Schumacher was first in the frame. I thought it was weird at the time.

Ok, maybe only the big teams are to run 3, so 6x3=18 + 7x2=14 = 32 cars. Still too many. Unless there's a new quali or even pre-quali procedure. And what about the points system? Not well thought through me thinks.

darwin_dali wrote:13x3 cars = 39 carsExactly...It could be like in late 80`s and early 90`s when there were tons of cars and needed pre qualifying. And then, what`s the point if Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, maybe Brawn and Red Bull have 3 cars? Then we have 18 from the 6 leading teams and it means that just 8 more spots on grid are left for small teams, so basically 14 cars will fight for 8 spots on grid... SO teams like Manor and Campos perhaps won`t even make a start at all, as of course they will be off pace and even a bad driver with good car can beat them...

I think the man tried has had as he could, especially when you had people like Bernie blowing things out of proportion (not to mention the race promoters).Yeah, I'm not so hot on the Badoer choice. I mean, I have nothing against him, it's just he's a professional TEST driver
I am more shocked that Badoer has been given the drive. Are Ferrari trying to be some sort of Mafia family ? Or do they feel sorry for him?
Marc Gene was their best bet. The man has had racing experience this year and he also knows the car. Surely he was the right man for the job.
All in all, a shame really. Schumacher's return was going to be great, however F1 lived on once he retired and it will do again. Easily.
Kimi has done it! The youngest ever F1 champion. A[…]
