    Time for Todt to go

    He obviously doesn't get it that F1 does indeed have a cancer that will kill it in the not distant future if the cancer is not aggressively treated.

    When I first saw the the thread title. I thought it must've been an overreaction from the OP, or that Todt has done somehting quite unusual. My impression is that he's done a great job with the the limitations he has to live with. The recent popularity of Le Mans has a lot to do with him.

    As it's turned out, it has been a massive overreaction from the OP. Todt was spot on. The only thing I didn't agree with him was the use of customer cars in the other article.

    Time for Nem14 to go methinks! lol!

    Yeah, brilliant. Who cares if the spectators continue tuning out a spectator sport? Sponsors don't care about exposure value or ROI.

    Maybe the failing independents can be replaced by national teams from Iran, Azerbaijan and North Korea.
