I don't like the politics/regulations of F1. However, the politics stop when you hear the engines fire up. There is still nothing else like it in the world. Once you experience it, all other forms of racing seem to pale in comparison.

I wish Toyota had stayed, they have a good car, and I was hoping for a good driver line up for next year. I hope Kobayashi has a seat for next year somewhere, maybe Kobash and Heidfeld in Sauber! Assuming the Heidfeld to McLaren rumors are unfounded.

uhhhhh..... 126 days? Im downloading old seasons right now, I need my F1 fix.


PS: I would really, REALLY like to see this helmet back in a F1

DC wont be back

i want to see Sato again

[(:Jordan:)]

Im pissed that 3 car manufacturers have pulled out within 11 months. They all pulled the plug to early IMO.

[E30Kaiser]

I don't really mind that they have left as long as they have replacements that are serious about the sport. Car manufacturers have other priorities than just racing so they are bound to leave when it isn't looking so hot to remain. More teams like Williams who are there just to race are appreciated to me. Sad to see that BMW didn't rise to the occasion this year like they were expected to though.

PS: Sato over DC for me as well.

In order for an auto manufacturer to justify the incredible expense of F1 they must see a return on their investment in the form of new technological & engineering breakthroughs that can eventually be implemented onto their road cars. With the current state of the FIA's cost-cutting measures (engine freeze, transmission limitations, strict KERS parameters, etc.) there is no incentive for a company like BMW or Toyota to stick around anymore.

lol, i was watching old 1980s F1 racing and saw a clip of Bernie walking by, looked different, and I wanted to see what this fool looked like back in the day, so i typed in his name and BAM, lol, one of the 1st images was that.

I love that Benetton era! Wasn't it '94 when that thing stuck in 5th gear in Spain & Schumi still finished on the podium?
