Title: F1 in trouble
Post by: faksta 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.

Ferrari and the FIA are still at odds. 

Anything to get rid of MaXXX.

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.
