F1 survival?

[Wrex]

Since Valve and I hi-jacked another thread, I thought it appropriate to start a new one.

F1 is in trouble, no doubt about it.

We are already down to 10 teams, with another 2-3 not looking good. F1 can't/won't survive with 14 cars.

Whats more disturbing, is we can't see anything on the horizon. When prost was looking shaky, at least we knew Toyota were coming. The line for teams waiting for entry is non-existant at the moment, regardless of the $48 million deposit required.

Do they need to eliminate this? Do they need some changes in the concord agreement to make it easier for new teams to enter? How can this be done without hurting the current teams hard earned value?

What can Bernie, Max and the teams do to strengthen the sport?
