Twists and turns of breakaway row emerge 06:18am on 24 Jun 2009 Virginman : Maybe Branson pulled out of Brawn , not because of sponsership costs but maybe just maybe FOTA have offered him something more substantial on the promotional side of the new championship . Was very interesting to see Sir Richard and Sir Jackie in deep conversation on the grid last Sunday.
Twists and turns of breakaway row emerge 4:47pm on 22 Jun 2009 #95 I fully understand your point and was for not one minute suggesting going back to the 70's.but with all the new technology they are still unable to replicate this sort of racing was the point i was trying to make, just being nostalgic.
The manufacturers must not have absolute control over the rules and must have a cap on spending but dont you find it strange that Max wants to cut costs but with constant rule changes year after year actually increases the teams expenditure and Bernie seems hell bent on sending them off to more far away places .
I personally would not like to see the end of F1 , I would like Max to step down , FOTA and someone from the Drivers Association have a bigger say in the rule changes proposed by the FIA , Also re FOM, FOTA should have some say in where they race and let FOM put back 25% of the 50% share of tv rights they get back into the catagory and more importantly the smaller teams. Please dont get me going on the deal Max gave Bernie on the TV rights for F1.

The question know one seems to be asking is who is going to be playing Max's role in this new series ? ...Sir Jackie ?

Agree with you on ticket prices ...seen it all before :(
Twists and turns of breakaway row emerge 3:07pm on 22 Jun 2009 I wish Max & Bernie (who remind me more and more of Dick Dastardly and Muttley by the minute) ,would cast their minds back to the heady days of the late 70's when Ferrari flat v12's battled with the Renault twin turbos , it was the days of pure seat of your pants racing !
The constant rule changes over the past few years by the FIA have taken away the manafacturers ability to develope technology that will eventually cross over to their main production line, no wonder they want out . FIA really have to wake up and give FOTA and the drivers alot more say into the rules and this will not happen as long as dear old Max is still there .
As far as dear old Muttley is concerned , he stopped thinking about the fans years ago . I have been living in Melbourne for a while and have only been to the race twice , ticket prices have increased and i have decieded that i was not going to line Bernies pockets anymore, now this is coming from someone who attended the British Grand Prix from 1977-87 and started going to race meetings in the uk in 1963 !
By the way Bernie thanks foe threatening to take it away unless we made it a night race , more additional cost for race that has been losing money for the past three years , attendance has declined every year due to ticket costs .
I really hope FOTA go through with their threat or come to agreement with the FIA that Dick goes and as far as FOM is concerned , cut a large chunk out Muttley's wallet .

Ah the heady days : YOU TUBE :GILLES VILLENEUVE VS RENE ARNOUX BEST ABOUT 1979 F1
Twists and turns of breakaway row emerge 3:07pm on 21 Jun 2009 Nice bit of digging Mr Mole . It's over for the dictator and his little ceaser , the court of public opinion suggest a majority of racing fans will go with the FOTA championship . One HD here in Australia did a quick phone poll prior to the race and 67% said they would follow the breakaway series . Bernie must be shaking in his little boots , all that TV revenue vanishing . You reap what you sow !
The Second US Presidential Debate - Live 03:05am on 08 Oct 2008 Obama tells the them they are a wealthy nation , please correct me are they not in the red for a few trillion dollars ....
The Second US Presidential Debate - Live 02:54am on 08 Oct 2008 Now dear John wants too drill and build more nuke plants , at least Obama is prepared too invest in clean coal and other green options , Republicans a subsidery of the oil companies .
The Second US Presidential Debate - Live 02:40am on 08 Oct 2008 If this debate is all about the economy then its goodbye john !
