Good points in gordon's feature, but some weaknesses as well:
1- the wished merger he fancies is just IRL capitulating and declaring that what comes from CC is the best under every point of view (chassis, int'l attitude etc)
2- he sees the new series as the sum of the best points he sees on both sides (actually on one sole side), whereas the new subject should, IMHO, sort something new: new chassis, new engine/s, new tracks etc
3- As any passionate fan, he listens to his heart more than to his brains: he nostalgically wishes a return to the multi engine/chassis formula, basically because "in their golden age Cart were like this" but you cannot build the future trying to get the past forward. Those were years when the team could enjoy budget absolutely unimaginable todays: that's why monomake series have become the standard.
