F1 in trouble
« on: May 13, 2009, 11:15:33 AM »
Seems like F1 is having some awful times. Renault and Ferrari have announced their possible retirement from a 2010 championship due to misunderstandings with FIA, who knows what others will say...

I'm not so sure this means trouble. I would be surprised if FIA and Ferrari can't work out their problems, and in the meantime at least three new teams are preparing to apply for a space on the grid for 2010. It's been a long time since there were several new teams at the start of a new season, so that would be most welcome.

Yes, if you meant two parallel series, but no if you were speaking about oval races :P

As a layman:
Anybody knows what happens when the new race series is launched?
Does the FIA have the right to ban the stubborn teams from the traditional race tracks?

That I don't know, but I consider that doubtful.
