Also, who really thinks that the FIA would even consider ****ing off Ferrari, Mercedes or Renault given the engine situation in F1?

Budget caps are unworkable, as well as being totally against what F1 is about. Keep the poor people out of F1 IMHO. If you can't afford F1, there is always GP2, GP3, FR, FF etc.

F1 is the best of the best, not the people who need drivers to provide funding for an also ran ****ty car to so much as pay for tyres.

If you need a budget cap to be in F1, don't be in F1. End of...

OK. That's fine. How many teams do you think will still be left in F1 if it was left to be a spending competition?

Why do you think it is that even Ferrari are calling for costs to be reduced still further?

"On Wednesday, Montezemolo says on Ferrari's website that F1 cannot "ignore" the crisis anymore and "we need to tackle urgently and with determination the question of costs."

Montezemolo adds "Ferrari is in agreement with the FIA's position that drastic intervention is required ... the question has to be tackled at the highest level, without further delay."

You'll notice that Montezemolo agrees with the FIA.

You see. There's this saying about living in the real world.

Oh and with regard to ******* off Ferrari, etc. If the V6 engines are shelved, it's bye-bye Renault.

Your move.
