Not so much a comment about Ferrari in F1-rather an observation about what the fallout might cause.Just as Bernie always bunged money at Ferrari to keep them onside,he also undermined sportscars when they gained support and manufacturers.If Ferrari were to apply even a quarter of their resources to a top line sportscar campaign they might achieve a proportionally greater amount of acclaim.They could almost certainly dominate the GTE category just by spending the F1 department's flower budget.Arriving at the top of more than one category of racing while spending much less money might appeal to Sergio Marchionne.With the slide in ratings for F1 over the last few years Liberty need to stop the rot urgently and losing the most historic name is no way to do this.It would also devalue a win in a Ferrari-free series for any subsequent champion.
