Ferrari Mailing List: F1, was: Cost of Ferrari Ownership

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Folks please remember; This is show business, not
sport.  There is no moral conscious, just greed.  The
flatter the owners can make the playing field, the
closer the points.  The closer the points, the longer
a "customer" may watch the series - and the sponsors. 
Like it or not, NASCAR is the model, technology
leadership is a ruse.
