But Berger said he can restore the Formula 3 Euro Series to against the reformed F3 series from the FIA. But in the end, the author regards Berger is not a killer of F3, but the man to save F3.
Well the article outlined 4 different options with Berger favouring F3 running a split DTM/F1 support package. He makes some good points about track time and the support of Volkswagen and Mercedes. He doesn't want the essence of F3 killed which I agree with.

Personally I think a single make chassis and multiple engines like now should remain. The tough part will be to convince Bruno Michel to go along with that plan because as Berger points out, he makes money from selling parts to the teams as well as coordination of the overall championship.

I think the FIA should keep the series open to multiple chassis even though it is in reality one make now. All eyes will be on FIA to see what they do.
