As I said I think that the budget cap came from the same three teams winning everything; in the last 10 years; Ferrari, McLaren and Renault have cleaned up and teams dropping away because of lack of funds because they weren't competitive. The chances of Bernie coughing up $80m to all the teams is unlikely as is an equal share of money so the only way to level the playing field is a budget cap and to police that the best they can; anyone caught will be severely punished. In reality the whole F1 circus needs restructuring from the top down but that doesn't mean the teams should run the sport with the FIA being referee, teams and rule making powers should remain separate IMO!


What happens if a team has alot of crashes during a season and needs to spend over the cap just to get a car on track to race?

Bud: I'm not necessarily arguing with going over the budget cap; the point that you quoted was much more about distribution of funds from FOM and why I thought that Mosley came up with the idea of the budget cap in the first place. Bernie isn't going to shell out more money than he needs to is he?
