    If the smaller teams actions result in an EU investigation into F1, cause big changes to be made to F1, and cause problems for the big teams then My advice to them would be to start learning how to build F1 engines right away because I can't see the big teams wanting to reward them by providing engines any more!

    If ever there was a case of cutting your nose off to spite your face!

    Don't the rules mandate engine makers supplying a certain number of independents?


    Think this has anything to do with the sudden interest in "franchise" teams among the big four?

    Well, it's not like they have any forceable chance of actually winning anyway right? So why not shake things up and see what happens?

    Please explain your stance on the NFL, NBA, MLB?

    We know all about this, I followed dirt late model racing in the midwest,
    and there were soo many sanctioning bodies that had different rules, even
    ever so slight, that made it hard to compete across different series AND be
    competitive.
    One allowed aluminum blocks, another did not, one had a spec tire, another
    had a different spec tire, one allowed you to run alcohol, one did not, one
    allowed a 12" spoiler, one allowed 8", one 6", one had a minimum weight limit
    of one weight, another would be 50 lbs plus, another 50 lbs less, maybe a small deal to you, but just a PITA to deal with, and there were dozens of little rules that
    added up to one big PITA, so guys simply quite racing.
    I knew about 90% of the drivers in a 500 mile radius, and I know that
    95% of them are no longer racing, mostly because they just got tired of dealing
    with the issues, it took almost all the fun out of it.

    And the sadder part?

    Most of those goofy sanctioning bodies are long gone now, and now the
    tracks are left with a miniscule car count and few people in the grandstands.
