That is funny and ironic! Although I can't say I mind seeing old marques like Brabham returning to F1; I would like the see Lotus back too! And what about Tyrell? Or even more modern/recent teams like Jordan and how about Prost again

I have no problems with having new teams join, I would love to see Lotus or Brabham, etc back.
I just don't support that idea at the cost of the current F1 teams leaving. I also do not think that rules should be skewed in favour of new teams, it's not fair to the teams that made F1 what it is today...

Speaking of Brabham...
The more I learn about these new teams, the more I think they are not real but being used as bargaining chips.
Do you remember who was part of the original Brabham team in the '70s & '80s? - BE.
Do you remember who was part of March? - MM. What do the 2010 regs have in them - a rule for 4 wheel drive. Who made a 4 wheel drive F1 car - March!
Brabam Family Working To Protect Their Name
Sir Jack Brabham and his family have left open the door to legal action after it emerged that a company aims to take their famous surname back to the formula one grid in 2010.
Following media reports, it was confirmed officially on Thursday that a German automotive supply company, Formtech, now controls the Brabham Grand Prix Ltd moniker and has filed an official team entry for next year.
Former triple world champion Brabham, an Australian who is now 83, founded the outfit in 1960 and it later raced under Bernie Ecclestone's stewardship.
But the Brabham family on Thursday clarified that it is "in no way involved" with Franz Hilmer's new Brabham Grand Prix Ltd outfit, and nor was it consulted about the plans.
"The family is taking legal advice and will take necessary steps to protect their name, reputation and its goodwill," read a statement.

Another drastic rules change from '09 to '10 will bring another incredibly boring season. At least last year we had to guess whether it would be a red car or a silver car, this year it is Jensen Button versus nobody. And frankly, I'd rather see anybody but that smarmy little wookie-faced brat win every race.
