What do you think motivates people like Bernie, or Dennis or Williams or Mateschitz or Mallyah or Jordan or Stefanovich?

They ARE motor racing enthusiasts and that IS required from karts to f1 :D

Bernie is motivated by money IMO.

Money, mostly.
Not all of them, but most of them.

And where is Stefan getting his money from exactly? And how much does he have to run a GP team?

Stefanovich is getting money from the serbian government, or at least backing, it would seem (this is according to the BBC)

and, Bernie has spoken with the prime minister of serbia.

hmm, I think its likely Stefan GP will be at Bahrain (more likely than USF1 being there)

I bet the people of Serbia lvoe their govt spending money on F1! Still seems fishy to me...

Karun Chandhok and Kazuki Nakajima surely are one of the most competitive driver lineups I've seen in my entire life!
There's Senna-Prost, and then there is Chandhok-Nakajima.... :D
I would even prefer Ralf to come back instead of this....

I would like to see StefanGP at Bahrain (the more the merrier!) but this sounds like a bad joke. :down:

Nakajima is not exactly the worst - he has good experience from being at Williams and went quite well at certain tracks.

Chandok is no shining light but he is a mid-grid experienced GP2 driver. Also there is probably a strategic reason - Bernie wants Chandhok in F1 because of an Indian Grand Prix.

BCE wanted Chandhok to be signed by Force India.

Honestly, I do not see the selection to be the worst albeit it is not the greatest either.

I still say give Stefan GP a chance at Sakhir.

Yeah, Chandhok isn't exactly enchanting, but at least it's not a totally a name drawn out of the hat - he's had his nose in F1 opportunities a couple times. Nakajima/Chandhok sounds better to me than Lopez/Valles. I also agree, Bernie may have a large hand in this to push the somewhat stalled Indian GP project ahead.
