Well it's official, F1 is the most expensive sport of all - £1.5bn for a season! That gives Max more ammunition for his cost saving exercise in 2008. :(

But without tabacco advertising I guess that figure will be hard to maintain.[/code]

It seems to be difficult to attract big sponsors these too.

Bernie and Max seem to have had a little fall out over the cost of the V8 engines, I never really understood this being a cost saving measure as the development of these engines most have cost ££££'s while doing something with the existing V10, even restricting it, would surely have been more economical.

They will be talking about standardised wings and such next :(

Yeah, I can see it going that way too. Boring racetracks, one car design for all for a whole season, in fact, an exact copy of GP2! :roll:

There were ideas floated around about have certain standard parts which personally I didn't like.

However, there was an idea metioned that teams could sell last years car to another team - now that could be interesting and could possibly attract more teams if they can use second hand cars. That would save loads of money.

It would be easy to get a "downer" on it, at the mo i'm looking forward to the season starting and will take each season as it comes !

It will have to be significally reduced for it to carry on in these uncertain times!

It's all Max's dream, a glorified A1GP/GP2/F2 clone with a special VIP box for him decorated in Swastikas and more hookers.

Bernie should hang his head in shame too demanding all the ridiculous sums of money so he can use it on his new plaything QPR so he can get one over Roman Abramovic.

And I've just thought up a good way to annoy Mad Max should this happen, send round John Cleese. :D
