So Where Will This End
by Chris on Jun.02, 2009, under F1
So! Like an undecided widower thinking about having an affair with the next door neighbour, with real concern that the family might think I did this before the demise of my spouse, I have been following the exhibition that Bernie and Max are selling us with anticipation but also with real concern about what is happening in F1.
Rumours of teams leaving does no good for the sport and with Brawn GP having a field day with the SERIOUS teams like Ferrari and McLaren I can see what concerns the “Bean Counters” a.k.a. Accountants have in justifying the cost of the sport to the board of directors.
Will Ferrari and their progress of late review their position? Will BMW develop and listen to their drivers or will we have an early “silly season” and change teams right now. The point I am trying to make is this; teams will reign for periods (even years) but there will always be a new kid on the block that will make you regret your complacency.
The fact remains that teams have circuits where they perform well while others are just pure hell on cars and drivers. I think the shortfall of the new regulations rest in the fact that new drivers have little opportunity to gain experience within a F1 team and this will make managers reluctant to give a “Rookie” a car to bend.
Oh! By the way, I miss the DTM and do not wish to buy another channel just for one formula. What else can I look forward to if I do buy it other than football?
