I have to say I agree about it all just being Max trying to split the teams up. It's all just about power in the end...

The FIA have agreed to reduce the licence fee for Grand Prix drivers for the 2010 season.It's a change that will reflect the expected cost reductions that will be brought in for next season.Clever eh!

Is there anyone else that still doesn't think that the 'winner takes all' debacle wasn't just a smokescreen for the rather more important cost-cutting measures ?
Max would have known full well that he couldn't introduce the new scoring system this close to the beginning of the season,and so to make it look more legit' the "we thought the teams had agreed" line was rolled out in an attempt to distract everyone from the real 'bomb-shell' that had been dropped.And meantime many of us ridiculed Max for not knowing what he was doing.How wrong,how terribly wrong. |

whatever the proposed budgets will be, wont they still have to spend the same amount on safety if not more from year to year, so why the reversal? ironic really. the only power that Max/BE/the Teams care about is found in court rooms and not on the race track. |

Also - if potential new teams (Bernie mentions three) can be taken to one side and convinced by their nice Uncles Bernie and Max that they would romp home in a £30m machine they would come on the grid as such - autonmatically ending FOTAs 100% manufacturer commitment... I think all the big issues of the past few weeks (diffusers, points and budgets) have been attempts to muddy the waters and stir it up by the powers that be. The diffusers could have been rectified a month ago, and the points and budget are just completly unworkable and almost naive ideas. IMHO there is no intention to finally impose them - Max and Bernie are just throwing things out there to see where the chinks in the armour are. For a start Max is now trying to say he'll give teams complete techinal freedom for £30mill? He wants a spec series, not complete freedom. He knows it won't work. |

Like I've said before,if you can't put two innovative cars on the grid for seventeen races for £30m or less,then there's something wrong somewhere. |
