Bootstrap Framework 3.3.6

[ArtHowe]

A new departure in F1. Teams are aligned simply on a national basis, like every other sport. English, Spanish, German, Italian, US, Australian, Finnish, Brazilian, French, Japanese, etc. As new nations wish to join they enter a Second Division. The top two new teams at the end of the season win promotion into the First Division. The bottom two teams in the First Division are demoted. Management, engineering, development, etc, must be of the relevant nationality.

This would promote investment and development and there are plenty of budding candidates as far as drivers are concerned in the lower echelons of the sport. The laurels would rest with a national team.

How can it be a good idea if wouldn't work?

[texasmr2]

It seem's to work in A1GP but it may be too much of a 'seperatist idea' for F1.

[McLaren Fan]

I don't like the sound of this at all. Things are fine as they are.

Well I can understand that the Itallian team would be challenged to find two drivers Certom, but can you give a cogent reason for your opposition other than the rather nebulous... "it sucks".

So everyone agrees that the present scenario in F1 is undesirable but God forbid that anyone should change it?

[texasmr2]

I never said the present scenario was undesirable and I'm alway's open to change for the good of the sport.

I think you have to ask what scenario are people unhappy with at the moment. People are complaining about politics, commerce, FIA-Ferrari links and rule changes not the current structure of teams.

[cap-dude]

We have A1GP for this basically.
Why change F1, just have both. Which we do

[ArtHowe]

It's going to be long time till Australia lumbers it's way onto the horizon. Alonso's painful story is now a corpse. Pretty soon the teams will be as good as decided and everyones' opinion on that outcome has already been adequately documented. Perhaps we should start a knitting circle. We could share patterns for yak wool y-fronts: " For this pattern you will need a pair of scissors, a yak and pair of number 4 knitting needles..."

How about a thread on the Pitfalls of Making Quince Jelly...

"First shoot at least half dozen quinces. When the quinces have been skinned, gutted, boned and dismembered, place them in a 52 gallon blender, on high, until they have been reduced to a bloody pulp..."

It appears then, that the only thing about F1 that people would like to change is Mad Max... correct?

Yes MM is F1's biggest downfall at the moment, I think EVERY member has agreed to that.

[7UpJordan]

I bet even Bernie secretly would love to see Max removed as FIA President.

Now that every man, woman and either their cat, dog or whatever seem to agree Max should go, who should replace him?
