Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 season [SPOILER]

[Graham Witt (gw.ferrari]

Chrales,

I agree 100%..

If Brawn go on to win the Championship I will not be upset. If Ferrari
doesnt come 2nd then I will be upset.

You mentioned anyone can run a series, just look at A1GP, OK its country
competing against country in the same cars racing competitively. But, I have
not watched an A1GP race live in how long?? Its like it has no tradition or
dare I say it soul.... With them cancelling races and changing dates of
races it is a bit of a farce.

The more the FIA and the poison dwarf screw around with the rules for their
own amusement the more people get frustrated and are bringing the sport into
disrepute. What does a budget cap have to do with anything? If Ferrari and
McLunken want to spend 100s of millions on F1 isnt that a good thing? Take
the current season, who is spending the big bucks, the same teams. Where are
they? Ok Ferrari have made a comeback (ie no screwups) but Mclaren are still
at the back. Toyota, Williams are also struggling. Its the lower budget
teams this year that are winning!!

Why change the rules every year, leave them as is for a couple of years.
Then the teams dont have to spend millions doing the modifications that the
"rule makers" introduce every year.

Cheers
G
