A racing car that does not win, is just art
I have been thinking about the new teams coming in next year and I have to say that the world is against them.
To start with the have had 6 months to design and build a car, all the other F1 teams I would imagine are going to turn up next year with an evolution of this years car.
The first day of testing next year when Manor, Compost and co turn up. There cars are going to be in the same position that all the current teams where last year. I am sure if Ferrari/Mclaren can build a mobile chicane with all the experience in F1 they have, what chance have some of these guys got?
Day 2 of testing hoping that they have not found any major problems with the cars or they did not end up upside down in the kitty litter because of there inexperienced drivers or ones not good enough to be F1 drivers by any of the existing teams. I know people like Wurtz, De La Rosa, are around but there is not enough to go around. They finally push cars to the limit to find that they have created the next 2008 Honda.
Day 3 - 6 of testing spent trying to work out where it is all gone wrong.
Time up season starts
No in season testing means what you got is what you got, unless you have the resources to sort it like Ferrari and Mclaren have this year. Now then will these teams have the resources... well no doubt they got all there money together at the start of the project and said "40 mill" that is all we need. Now the goalpost has moved, "40 mill" is not going to get you out of trouble, can you get more money?
Season 2
After the dismal display you made of yourselves last year the only sponsorship you can get is for Tesco No Frills, and that is for a baked bean can for the hospitality tent. team folds and is never heard from again.
I suppose what I am saying is the cream always rise to the top. if you are not already in the show then you should have to question if you should be!
