IMO if any team is allowed to enter F1 then they should be allowed to race
it is as much a business as it is a sport and this does nothing but hurt the team
I know they have issues, but some of the comments here hoping they loose sponsors and fade away are really sad, considering that they give us two more seats and another competitor that just ads to the show. I would hate F1 to turn into Motor GP with only 12-13 vehicles showing up for races.
I watch F1 for the competition and the spectacle. So one less team, one less intrigue, one less aspect to the sunday show is everyone's loss.

I remember folks like you who were advocating for STR to go away just a few years ago
STR was Minardi...long considered a laughing stock of F1 minnows, but valiantly hung on, while the likes of Toyota, Honda, & BMW decided to leave at the slightest sign of trouble for flimsy reasons, even though they were better teams. and after a few years ,they won a race and now are a strong mid pack contender.
I'd rather have a team that struggles to be in F1 because they want to be there, rather than a team that simply looks at F1 as marketing and accounting opportunity.
RBR used to be Jaguar which had a terrible time in its re-introduction to F1
Force India was Spyker that was considered a joke
etc, etc,
Especially with today's economics, digital world and integrated society,
If you are admitted to F1 then as long as you can produce a car, you should be allowed to race
The only thing this move does is damage F1 IMO,
I just meant when the leaders lap cars it doesnt matter if its an hrt or str because any car being lapped has to slow down and move over so in that case it doesnt matter HRT is a couple seconds slower because lapped cars are not doing maximum lap times. Simply HRT doesnt have to slow down that much to be lapped is all. LOL ;)Quote:

I feel bad for HRT, imagine how much money and effort theyve spent only for some stuffy old elitists rich guys to deny them the ability to race because of a wonky unscientific rule. 107 percent, 110 percent, WHO CARES. again there were others besides HRT causing traffic problems in qualifying infact I cant remember a race recently in f1 where there werent traffic problems caused by all kinds of different teams including fast teams.Quote:

MS out, gearbox issue.
I suspected that the Mercs would be slower in race pace, in qualy most of their speed came from the drs advantage which they could use most of the lap, so unfortunately they seem to behind Maclarens and rbr overall
Rosberg is a road block!
Rosberg uses other tarmac than the track. penalty comming?
