F1 is going badly

Max Mosley was right. By wanting to impose on teams F1 a drastic reduction in the discipline's operating costs, the president of the FIA ​​wanted to avoid the withdrawal of the major manufacturers. Faced with pressure from FOTA (the teams' association) which threatened to create a parallel series, the Briton had to give ground and abandon the idea of ​​capping budgets.

Aujourd?hui, après la décision de Toyota de quitter les paddocks pour des raisons économiques, force est de constater que Mosley avait vu juste. Le départ d?un constructeur de taille, en l?occurrence le numéro un mondial, n?est jamais bon pour une discipline comme la F1 qui représente le sommet de la pyramide du sport automobile.

The arrival of new teams in 2010? Manor GP, US F1, Lotus F1 and Campos? However, it will allow us to have a fuller starting grid than this season and thus not notice this desertification of the manufacturers. But a private team will never replace a major manufacturer for the prestige of a discipline, however publicized it may be.

The governing bodies must now pray that other teams do not have the same idea as their Japanese counterpart so that the championship remains the most attractive in the world. The next few weeks will therefore be decisive.
