Villeneuve: Manor Should Be In GP2

[Rollo]

Not just for F1, but all the FIA world championships. Drastic cost-cutting is needed across the board if they are not to stagnate completely.

We can start by cutting Bernie Eccleston's cut of 23% of revenue and the FIA's cut of 30% of revenue and start funnelling that back into teams and venues.
FOPA provides zero value added as far as I can make out.

It is rare in F1 that a new team arrives and is on the pace. Sauber are the last team to really achieve this (not including renamed teams like Red Bull etc). Any new team needs time to build up towards the mid field. If M&M are still way of the pace mid 2016, then maybe they are out of time, but at present, they deserve to be in F1

Is Villeneuve Right To Say Manor Should Be In GP2?

Yes
No

Who cares what he has to say.

[truefan72]

everyone talks about cost cutting like there is no money in F1
create a proper revenue sharing system and F1 teams will never struggle again.

It's like here in the USA when they say there is no money for schools, arts programs or fund NASA, yet there is money for million dollar drones, new multi-billion dollar aircraft carriers that nobody wants (the navy included!) or needs and corporate welfare for the richest companies.

The point is, there is money there.It is about proper allocation, then teams like manor who have more than proven their commitment to stay in the top formula will never struggle again.

And also, I still blame mosley for his rigged/bribery system when those applications for 3 open slots where in play.

I don't ever think F1 should punish teams who want to spend fortunes to win, but it should be cheaper to enter and have a go.

IMO anyway
