Stargazer7 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
$48 million: To be or not to be?

Mosley have stated that paying $48 million as a deposit for creating an F1 team will not be mandatory anymore. But if the costs stay in the level they are now, new teams wont participate no matter wether they have to pay to participate or not.

He also said that smaller teams could buy parts from a bigger team and so McLaren is thinking of a second car (car b in particular) in the grid (just like Red Bull). And I kept thinking where is the sport going? To having four or five (rich) teams and another four or five "helpers"? Division A and Division B?

Sounds like motorsport of the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s

No, no, no. I don't think so. At that times everyone was allowed to overtake anyone and win races. Teams were independent. Now these teams are supposed to be used as something like test cars during the race! What is that?? Would you imagine McLaren B car to overtake the actual McLaren championship challenger? Or, even more possible, not to let it overtake that easily?

We saw it with Hakinnen and Coulthard, we saw it with Barrichelo and Schumacher, we saw it (more undercovered the truth is) with Alonso and Fisichela now will we see it with drivers from different teams???

Given that the "B" teams will be running the previous year's chassis, it's unlikely they'd be in a position to overtake.

Anyway, it's not going to be directly owned in the same way - it's more a customer arrangement.

Did drivers for Rob Walker ever worry about overtaking those of Colin Chapman?

DKGandBH has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

Yeah, it's not like a Sauber ever made it easy for a Ferrari to pass...

Not very happy perspective, but it's what's already been happening since the coming of the turbo era.

Firstly, I don't think that will happen that much for various reasons.

Secondly, in what way is that different to the big Alfa Romeo or Mercedes teams in the '50s. Those races where we used to have many BRMs or such like. Or when people like Rob Walker used to run his team? The more I think about it the more it is like the old days!
