Are you saying that people over 45 are incapable of driving an F1 car?

I've been in races with 65 years old who kicked my arse.

Not at all James!
Given it is a masters series, I thought there would have to be an age cut off somewhere!

I was merely suggesting that number because most of this forum suggested that Schumacher was too old for F1.

His pole time at Monaco would seem to suggest otherwise!

Another random and interesting hurdle would be the safety of the older cars. Willing to bet if you brought back late 60s copy F5000 cars (with safety updates) with wide tyres and very little downforce, the series would be more watched than F1!

P.S. The older guys TEND to do less totally brain dead and stupid things than the youngsters!

What's the point, there's already an Historic F1 series or has senility really begun to set in and Bernie's forgotten about it?

You already know the answer to that question. Think!









Bernie doesn't own it or control it!

Same reason you have to shed classic circuits and go anywhere there isn't an existing GP circuit!

Even his daughters can't spend all the money he has, so I would think it's about ego at this point.

I wonder how long all that money would last if they owned and financed an F1 team?

As more or less everyone has said... it's a silly idea... and I'm sure Bernie knows that too. He's just being mischievous as usual and we're the fools wasting our time discussing it
