Good choice - at least you won't have to worry about slamming the doors shut!! :

Did anyone actually read the opening paragraph to this?

Who would we like to see in Formula One as either and engine supplier, chassis builder, combination thereof or whole car builder? Assuming a budget of £10zn* and a lead development time of nil.

Hmm....

Yes!! I saw it Rollo. It was very inspirational. However, the rest of the post seemed to go downhill quite rapidly from there.

But to answer your opening paragraph, perhaps we could get Max to resurrect those March chassis, stuff those Cosworth Ford engines into them and race them around.

What do you think of that as a great idea?

Some good suggestions so far, but I don't want to think about it too much.

When Toyota and Honda got into the sport I was sure they would be top level cars within a few years. No sense in getting my hopes up that someone else could do it much better.

You might get a few more Australian viewers if there was a Holden and a Ford F1 team.

Wouldn't mind seeing Peugeot have another crack, maybe going down the Renault way of doing things.

Audi* and Porsche would be good.

* though we don't need another silver and red car on the grid

OK!! the V8's will bring viewers who can identify with the brand of their family cars. But if either of these two Australian companies, or even the parent company in the USA starts to think of F1, they immediately contemplate economic hari kiri.

I think Rollo appears to be thinking of a giant company building some sort of customer cars with customer engines; and frankly while I think the idea has merit if the right company with the right engineering and F1 experience can be found, in reality the current customer car vis a vis the mysterious concord agreement means that it isn't going to be agreed on by certain teams if any of the current racers appear to be involved.

That is the sad state of affairs in F1 right now.
