Default Ferrari is ruining F1

http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Formula+One

Let us look shall we. On that site is news of at least 3-5 more entries that are on the wayside waiting for what a ruling will be as far as a cap is concerned thanks to Ferrari. As it stands there are solidly at least 3 new teams guaranteed next year to on grid. Apparently, there is a whole lot more waiting.

But thanks to Ferrari and their arrogance, instead of getting new fresh blood into the sport and more excitement and possibly even pre-qualifying with cars exceeding grid spots...we get the mother of all **** ups in the courts thanks to Ferrari. I would suppose Ferrari would be happy if every race looked like this one:

well you gotta ask who ALLOWED ferrari that kind of sway? mmm?

i say the ultimate ****ups are Bernie & Max, they're the ones turning F1 into something a whole lot less than the pinnacle of motorsport.

now i wish they had DTM and JGTC on speed...

Well, the limit on number of teams in the championship isn't set by Ferrari, so there are those would-be teams having to wait on the sideline isn't Ferrari's fault.

And as far as Ferrari's (and I believe few other teams' as well) refusal to accept FIA's cap system, the key issue appears to be the 2-tier budget caps / technical regulations. I, for one, believe that is a real issue and concern. Every team should run with the same set of technical regulations and same budget cap (if one should exist at all).

But of course, Ferrari haters can and will always make claims that Ferrari is bullying their way by any means to have an edge on others, etc. Just to remind everyone who may be thinking to reply to my post here, I am neither a Ferrari hater nor a Ferrari lover. My previous posts about F1 has made that point clear

Cheers! Go Button Go!!! Go Brawn Go!!!

The sole purpose in limiting the number of teams is to increase the extortion money the teams must bring to king bernie.

Nothing - it's just Mike spewing garbage as usual.

He doesn't understand the issue that the TEAMS - BGP included - have with the proposed 2010 regulations. Since a member of Ferrari heads FOTA, Mike simply blames this on Ferrari ignoring the fact the ALL THE TEAMS - BGP INCLUDED - stand together on this issues...

^ the funny thing is that MM dreamed up the budget cap to keep teams from QUITTING F1. Since all the teams are now against the budget caps, MM has switched gears and made this about new JOINING F1...
