You can expect more crap from Ferrari in the future. They're the leading force behind 'lets make up rubbish no one agrees with'

Nowt better to do in the off season

Why do you think this years car was so poor?

Lol yeah, they seem to do it better when they're in season though.

I think vaatanen and Ferrari have a valid point, the big manufacturers (Honda, BMW, Toyota, Renault) always *NEED* to invest in promotion and marketing, even during recession. F1 was a very good way to promote, but with increasing limitations on regs, especially engines, and let's not forget kers, which was implemented with restrictions... the appeal of F1 was vanishing for them. Keeping up with money and research would not mean much to them in terms of marketing, in a standardizing f1 methinks!
'bout bridgestone... it's due to them being the only supplier, paired with the fact they still had to PAY big money to supply f1. It shouldn't have come as a shock to FIA, looking at it that way. can you see bridgestone claiming through promos to be the world champions? they supply everyone, from first to dead last. paying. and probably getting bad publicity from this, since on most races the focus was drawn to tyres only when they were graining, blowing, deteriorating.

Good point!

Ferrari has a habit of complaining when things don't suit them. It's happened in the past and will happen again.

I would love to see the cars go back to the time when there were no electronics and the driver had to do the work. The FIA have done some good, with budget limitations to help keep F1 alive, but I think it should be opened up, to allow all tyre manufactures to enter, making it more competitive to us all. Some tracks would be better on one tyre than another.

We should allow ABS back and the running of skirts. Let's start building cars to race, not to run round the track. I for one want to see close racing, not go back to the days when one team took off into the distance never to be challenged and hardly ever seen again.

I can remember when mansell and senna were racing and the battles that ensued. I saw, "Let's have more."
