No-one disagrees with a cap. The disagreement is with Max's dogmatic way of governing. He is not interested in involving the teams and reaching a satisfactory agreement ( which could easily be done). Its all about Max and power.........So No Max has not got right, he's got it badly wrong!

Yup, with the exception of the first word.... No-one. I disagree with a cap whole heartedly. The racing should certainly be made cheaper...but that is by not changing the rules every year, resulting in untold millions in redesign, not introducing expensive and fairly useless tech that the teams need to spend untold millions developing (KERS), not travelling to countries who have NO interest in racing (if the track sits VACANT for every other weekend of the year...I'm sorry, it's not a racing country)....have two or three races a year in countries who WANT TO SEE RACING and stop forcing the teams to spend so much travelling. There are MANY ways to reduce costs....without putting in an artificial cap which the teams are then forced to find a way to cheat on, etc while the FIA has to spend thousands of hours attempting to enforce, prove cheating, etc. It's a bad joke.

Thats sort of what i meant. I should have said reduction in costs rather than cap.

I have only been watching F1 since the last few races of 2K8, so I don't have much experience yet. The one thing I've come to dislike so far is the amount of drama is greater off track than during the races itself. I can understand the need to attract new teams, but pushing the older teams out in doing so isn't the best way to make the sport successful for the future. So IMO, for a newer point of view than most others, no Max isn't doing it right at all.

I swear there has never been this much off the track bollocks

Geez

[myownalias]

Is Max and Bernie doing the right thing? ask me that again at October 2010! Only time will tell; I agree with the budget cap but not the amount and certainly don't agree with the way either side have conducted themselves firing cheap shots at each other in the press, it's more akin to playground rules than adult discussion, I'm happy the BS is over!

[racechick]

Geez

Now lets not jump too far ahead!

I agree

has max got it right? no he has split the series! Max, the man who killed F1!

He'll go down in history as the man who killed off F1

[8-ball]

Bottom line is costs have to be reduced. I supported Max's budget but not the way he handled it. If FOTA breakaway I hope they do not continue the spending of $100m a year because in the long run that will just hurt them

[Jamie]

To me, he has become the Adolf Hitler of Motor Sport and so has Bernie, the sport is so…. Aggravating it’s unreal! F1 is so that I have made other plans for this weekend, I have actually agreed that if JB has pole then my misses can watch what she wants, yeah I know, she was like Because I am so stubborn, Max has made my love for the sport being turned into hate! He is a sexed up pervert! That is the face of the sport that we love and cherish?? get rid! Bernie will lose out, I can’t wait to see the plane of a sport crash and burn! While FOTA go of with an awesome new series that really will bring back the love for the sport! Stephen you need a new name for the forum

You know it buddy

[burt estep]

NO.

[Turbo]

Anybody know Max or Bernie's e-mail address? I have some flames to throw...

[elmerfud_2]

He killed the goose that layed the golden egg, for his poor acumen he'll pay the price of his wealth, foolish!
