It seems very sad , indeed , when one considers all the talk of F1 morphing into a friendlier place for teams and promoters alike , that Manor has fallen from the grid .
The former owner wanting to keep some equity must have had something to do with what he saw as the future for the series .
That fact , apparently , was what scuttled the attempts to save the team , according to Saward .
I guess you can't blame the guy , if he had been convinced he could actually have made a few bucks as an owner , and arrived only to find a big pit into which he could throw his money .
And , then , to have the series sold , with coming promise of possible financial relief , and be forced to sign it all away at a hard loss ?
I can imagine his mindset , wanting to keep a piece .
Hopefully , losing them will inspire the new lease holders to fix this .
Something must be wrong when the loss of one point can kill a team .
It should scare the crap out of everyone .
I hope it does .
