But if forceful means is what you would like, why not force Ferrari, or Mercedes, or Toyota to build a prototype and race it? Silly? Yes, I think so to.

Not to mention, if there was a fleet of R10s on the grid, you'd all complain because there would be no variety and the cars are too quiet.

Or maybe you're just sabre rattling...
His motivation is product advertizing for a start .

I didnt say to force anybody mate , i said that they should be made to supply a customer team , if they already have a chassis . Not forced to build one . Get that right .

Now , i would like a few opinions on that point please , and not yours alone .

I dont want to see a fleet of any car on the grid either . But the option for a privateer to get his hands on a properly developed car seems like a good idea to me . Obvioulsy you are quite happy to see a team like Audi Sport North America win all races in one year ?

I couldnt find the *bird* symbol , so here's a trout instead
