Landie, you aren't supposed to read what Marnio/Marion writes, it's not worth wasting your life with it. I see the idiot picture he puts up and skip his comments. If we all ignore the idiot he'll give up and go away.
Unless he comes up with a comment worth reading.
Yeah right, like that's gonna happen.
Stick with reading Touronroute's fantasies, at least they'll make you laugh.

kabsl, i don't think widening the tracks is the answer. There is only one racing line however wide the track is. The part which isn't the racing line will get dirty and be covered in marbles. What we need is to reduce the aerodynamics. The reason cars find it hard to overtake is the prevailing vortex of air behind the car.
They should give each team a standard front and rear wing, and ban all extra aerodynamic surfaces. If the following car has cleaner air to use, it will be able to get closer to the corner and have a better chance of outbraking the car in front.
Oh, and please will someone place something VERY heavy on that idiot Marion's hands, i can't be the only one that has tired of reading the ramblings of an uninformed idiot!
Honda cars more boring than a coma? ANY Type-R, NSR?

mr hamiltons son say he stay with mclaren men for life. that nice for him but what do mclaren men say? you see mclaren is now german owned. the parent company is the mercedes benz which is the german. the engine is the german engine. everything about the team is the german. mr hamiltons son now the swiss gentleman he eat much cheese and sings in the morning at mountains. mr hamiltons father is also now the swiss man. in fact there nothing british about this team at all. even the man who tidy up the garage after the race has moved to switzerland with his mother. switzerland is owned by the german. my friends the whole team is GERMAN - and guess what - so is mr glock. now you see why the time stand still for mr glock on the last lap. like he in the time warp. not even the people abducted by the alien lose the amount of time he lost on that last lap. IT IS A DISGRACE!!!

kabsl, the problem for Formula One is that the F1 engines in 2008 cost upwards of £2 milion each, and this cost has proved unsustainable, as the withdrawal of Honda has proved. By the way, if Honda can sell their F1 team, and if that team (under a new banner) were to compete in 2009, has anybody suggested whose engine they would be using?

instead of spending so much time and money on changing the rules, why dont they have 2-3 years of standard rules for engines. if there are no major changes to the engines less money has to be spent.
The money saved over the next few years could be deposited into a fund which can be used tfor widening of the tracks. this'll make for easier overtaking.
Max and bernie keep talking of reducing costs but then they introduce measures which require serious R&D - and increase costs. Seems like they have no idea what they are talking about

Is budget-capping really feasible?
It is open to all kind of abuse from the more powerful / wealthier teams, to some of which the FIA would turn a blind eye effectively giving them carte-blanche to flout the rules.
The rules must be unambiguous and straight forward to enforce. Especially considering the rather subjective interpretations of the regulations we have seen recently.

Amongst much wailing and gnashing of teeth, the F1 purists are being consigned to the parts bin of life. Grow up and accept the inevitable, the top teams spending gazillions to win is going to stop. More 'kit cars' and stock engines filling the grids will be the norm. If you don't like the spectacle any longer, no-one is forcing you to watch it. For my money, the racing will be a lot better than it has been for the last 25 years or so.

That's it. I'm done with F1 after next year. This is basically forcing the teams to adhere to a standardised engine, since the engine freeze will make the engines obsolete in a few years anyway (if not sooner).
On that note, haven't Mosley and Bernie realized that it's those increasingly stringent and ridiculous rules that are being introduced in F1 that force teams spend incredible amounts of money for the smallest advantage? I say loosen the rules, and put a cap on spending to give teams more variation in which area they choose to spend their money on (eg, one team want to spend 50 mil on developing their engine, while another may want to spend 30 on an engine and 20 on aero, etc). This would make the sport much more interesting to give room for development, while limiting budget so teams must choose wisely.
Bring back the V-10s, or better yet, the V-12s.
