I agree here, except for the rescue bit, I'm sure there was a small amount of that there.

when he Bought Minardi there were other parties interested in buying into F1, and there weren't *that many* for sale.

He was ****ed that Prost went under providing a cheaper entry into F1 that otherwise would have been possible, when that fell through I'm sure he had some sort of smile on his face...same with Arrows.

He whinges when there is money to be had, he is whingeing now after the sale of Jaguar has taken another prospective buyer (coincidence ?)

on the innovation front, and i will admit it's nothing ground breaking like ground effect cars or anything, but how about ferraris neat idea to re-route the exhausts out of the top of the body work. it has been near universally used since.

The way they pay more to and favour the smaller teams is simply a way of artificially stabilizing f1
The fear is that if the small guys weren't helped they would get no sponsers,drop out and leave only the big guys to fight it out ....untill they left for lack of interest then the cycle would start from scratch with many small and mid sized teams getting into f1

It's not quite right and i don't completely agree with it.It is nessesary at the moment though.
If costs were controlled more then it would be less nessesary
But if f1 had all it's rules rewritten then none of this bullsh*t would happen in the first place
