No good will come of this.
Max, Bernie, FOTA, Sir Frank, they are all screwing up a good thing.
It seems in all of this that some fundamental ideas have been forgotten.
The Fans should come first. The rules have gotten convoluted and arcane. Max is a tyrant. Bernie is greedy. The teams waste money. The tracks are boring. Racing is being promoted into markets that cannot fill the stands. Historic venues are being abandoned.
Yet despite this we have seen some amazing racing over the past few years.
If the FIA and FOTA do not compromise, I fear that the damage done will be as bad as it has been for CART and the IRL.
It's all rather depressing.
