agreed and i think that goes back to your earlier point that F1 is moving one way and the crazy rich guys are moving in the other.

F1 needs to become more accessible for some.
Am I the only one who really loved the "bring it and try to qualify the damn thing" attitude of yesteryear? |

No you are not alone but in the last twenty years a shorter person than I has had a different attitude toward what 'professionalism' is and the status quo reflects his viewpoint.

Andretti Autosport are in talks with Ferrari to let them be their B team like Toro Rosso is to Red Bull. However Andretti want to run their team out of the States and Ferrari closer by like Italy.

That only stands a chance if the FIA remove the requirement for teams to build their own cars. Not likely - for all the talk about it.

I remember being dumbfounded at the teams selected the last time out. Especially when you had established outfits like nTech and Prodrive apply.

Imagine for a moment if F1 had more development restrictions and 'B' teams could run last years car as junior team....that would be a great cost cutting exercise...

Could a Chinese F1 team really happen?
Joe Saward has a report that they want an F1 team. http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2014/...-move-into-f1/ |

Money will not guarantee success. Ask Toyota, Craig Pollock, Marussia, HRT, or Tony Fernandes, what their chances are? Why are they doing it? To create an international sports economy for the country of 1.2 billion people..... and gain some prestige... They could initiate a national motor sports programme for a fraction of what it would take to run a F1 programme... |

Well, there's a sickly Sauber and Caterham up for grabs.
If they want to do take the plunge, crack on. |
