I'd be surprised if there are backhanders as such; they're not as simple-minded as some politiciunts.

More of a quid pro quo arrangement.

I'm not basing my opinion on anything other than interviews but Mosely strikes me as an absolute cretin.

I would LOVE to see Mosely in place next year with Williams, and Force India and the other shite.

Any Business that operates in the way the FiA do deserves to fail.

'Were about cost saving'
'You have to develop a Kers system'
'Okay Kers is rubbish, it's outlawed for 2010'

If I was Ferrari or McClaren I would be so incensed with the way it's run. Spend multiple millions devloping Kers, then instill a budget cap that favours the smaller teams but not allow Ferrari or McClaren to benefit from the previously invested Kers system.

It's however the most exciting thing that's happened in decades in F1 and I really wanna see Burnt Ecclescake and Mosley Brownshirtlifter meet their comeuppance. In a bunker outside Berlin...

Lets face it; If lawsuits are being thrown around then it's all fallen apart now and aint gonna come back together.
Sadly I agree. Even if the FIA wins its case against Ferrari et al, they're only going to extact damages, they can't force them to race.

Oh well. It was an enjoyable 22 years watching F1.

More money/talent available for other racing series when it all goes tits up.
Agree about BTCC, great weekends racing at a reasnable cost to the punters.

Can we not just let them have things like turbo cars with NOS for instance again.

Surely having the most extreme performance would excite!
