    I'm not an F1 fan because the cars are about as carlike as a fighter jet is like a paper airplane, but... if companies would pull out just because they can't keep throwing money at their cars until they've exceeded what the other teams could afford, then I'd say good riddance to them. How about winning with better designs, mechanics, and drivers instead of just deeper pockets?

    Are you implying that not allowing infinite money for a team is the same as not allowing any at all?

    @brianesser76:

    Such hostility, lol


    I like things like WRC, Group A, or MotoGP. The vehicles used are (sometimes tenuously) related to cars you could actually buy and use.


    I think F1 is the definition of cutting edge and impressive in motorsports. Because only 1 in millions of F1 fans might even get to try one of the cars, and they're so ridiculously exotic and high tech, I just find it a bit far removed from reality, so it doesn't hold my interest often.


    Anyway, I think this is being blown out of proportion - don't you think there could be a funding cap that still allows the teams to do research and development, and push the technological envelope without resorting to brute force outfunding each other? Or do you find it exciting when a team wins that way?

    You woke up this morning
    Thought about F1,
    Mosley said it'd always be
    The Chosen One.


    He said it's one in a million
    It's got to burn to shine,
    But he was born under a bad sign,
    With a gimp mask on his eyes.


    You woke up this morning
    All the love has gone,
    Mosley clearly never knew 'bout
    Right and wrong.


    Button's looking good, baby,
    And the racing's finally doin' fine, (Shame about it),
    Born under a bad sign
    Without reason in his eyes.


    You woke up this morning
    With the rules turned upside down,
    Thing's ain't been the same
    Now half the teams are leavin' town.


    Mosely's one in a million
    But there ain't no pride in that.
    He's the only one in a million,
    Who don't think that he's a twat...

    Cheer up, Orosz, there's always the Australian V8 Supercars series! And it's much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better than F1 ever was anyhow.

    Where were you when Formula One died?

    Well, I was on Jalopnik, when Formula One died.

    How did you know Formula One was dead?

    A man named Wert told the news through sharp prose

    Who killed Formula One?

    A crazy tyrant named Mosley with death in his eyes.
