That’ll be the old CART point system, then.

But I’m with ya! The more the merrier. I’d actually like to see 15 teams and 20 races: More teams + more races = more exposure = more $$$, answering the business case for such expansion.

Sauber’s (apparent) pending doom reminds me of Arrows, in the sense that someone posted above; Peter Sauber kept that team respectable for years, even if they didn’t win, they didn’t embarrass themselves. Jackie Oliver did the same at Arrows before corporate ambition overextended things until the team went bust.

In August Williams probably thought Renault engines were a shoo-in…

Just as well F1 cars are fitted with trackers then, isn’t it.

Just thinking as ti why FW would veto this team. If this Russell bloke was involved with the Button contract mess and Williams feel that lost out then I can see why there might be an issue with this guy.

Why Williams vetoed Sauber’s entry? Could it be Frank is still angry with Mario for pulling out from Williams-BMW partnership after buying Sauber??

On an unrelated note, I find it disgusting that it’s possible to serve 2 years for defrauding an insurance company, yet people who mug and batter others get away with far less…

Williams are becoming killjoys for many fans. Frank seems bitter now that there glory days seem long behind them. Frank, look to the future and be more positive….great people always bounce back.
