Do you remember there used to be the Jim Clark trophy for non-turbos? I seem to remember Jonathan Palmer won it.

Customer cars may be inevitable, but who gets what? If say Force India were able to race this years Mercedes in 2015, they'd have a pretty good car and may still be beating Ferrari and Red Bull. It also means someone like Haas might come in with a lots of money and simply buy the best car and be beating the likes of Williams without having to do all the work and development normally required to compete. Are those things what we want to see?

I'd say he's lost the plot, but he never had one in the first place! He's got far too much money to last him the rest of his geriatric life, he just dosn't give a sh1t, mind you he'll soon have to employ someone to wipe his arse for him.
