I would rather prefer HTR and Virgin off the grid and replaced by a more competent team, as it is now, they add nothing.

Er... all I did was disagree with your opinion. I don't disagree with their adding nothing. But I think your view is unnecessarily aggressive in its expression.

It's not that simple though is it? There is nobody ready to take their place, the FIA refused to accept a 13th team in for this year on those grounds.

Even though Virgin have been a little disappointing so far this year I still find their performance not bad considering they are not "cheating" like the other two by buying the back end of someone else's car.

NO, they're not cheating, they're using a bulk gearbox instead. With that, you're never going to be succesful.

Okay, then I might have misunderstood you.
As for being agressive, I dont think I was being that at all.

Then banish them from F1 for showing utter incompetence.

2 was to fix this
1 kit cars (not customer cars) buy parts from other teams with a 33% limit from one team
Ferrari tub red bull front and rear wing renault engine williams gearbox

2 teams running a 3rd car (young drivers and one off drivers)
if a driver wins a gp2 race reward him with a one off 3rd car drive at the next f1 race weekend

Credit where it's due: both Hispanias faster than the Virgins in FP2 despite Liuzzi only getting in one flying lap.

Nothing new there... they've already beat them last year... now they're after the slower lotus' :p :

Don't think that will happen TBH, the TL's look like they'll break into the midfield come Spain.

If HRT managed to stay ahead of Virgin then that for them should represent success.

To be fair, Virgin were always faster last season, but finished behind on count back results. HRT now appear to be ahead on pace - it's a bit step for them.

It's pretty evident that Virgin needs to get the car into a wind tunnel as soon as possible. I mean, a hastily built HRT is quicker than Virgin in its second race with zero testing.
