This is also potentially very short-sighted. If they think of the prize-pot as being a fixed and limited resource, then the protectionism is logical, but with the arrival of new entrants (particularly one with the Andretti name), this is likely to increase interest in F1 - particularly from the US (and other markets that watch Indycar/Nascar).non news - Due to the unique way the sport is run and financed, the turkeys have decided that since they have been handed power, that Christmas is cancelled henceforth.
Of course they are against the prize pot being made smaller, unless they do what they did from 2010 and only paid out for the top 10 teams, in which case no worries. Unless they are concerned they will get beaten?
-------------------------------------Horner explained this to Racer, saying it “ultimately boils down to, ‘Well, who’s going to pay for it? And you can assume that the teams, if they’re perceived to be the ones who are paying for it – or diluting their payments to accommodate it — of course it’s not going to sit that well.”
“They might say, ‘oh it’s taking our piece of the cake
“Yes, to them – but what do you want? Maybe i kick out five teams, and then you have more money? You can take it both ways.”
F1 once had a thing almost as bad as that. It was called "Pre-qualifying"That is hilarious! Maybe there should be a rule that if you finish last in the championship you have to give up your spot on the grid
HRT was as close to that as we got. when they couldnt get in the 107% ruleF1 once had a thing almost as bad as that. It was called "Pre-qualifying"
Travel half way around the world and find that your Weekend was over by Friday tea time.
Man, that's a bummer! I couldn't imagine spending all that time and money to not qualify.HRT was as close to that as we got. when they couldnt get in the 107% rule
well i think we had at times 39 cars going for 26 cars on the grid.Man, that's a bummer! I couldn't imagine spending all that time and money to not qualify.
Not to my knowledge.Ar there any other sports where the competitors have such a say in rules and competitors?
GM Motorsports expects to know in about 10 days if its bid is accepted to join Formula One with Andretti Global via the Cadillac brand. Dr. Eric Warren, the executive director of competition for GM Motorsports, has led the F1 effort for the automaker and recently told NBC Sports that a decision was anticipated by July 15.
Big article. How long have the FIA and F1 been at odds with each other? The article says quite a lot about it. What are they not in favour of?seems we getting not 1 but 2 teams, with Andretti & Hitech both given the green light, im all for more teams is great because it will give more drivers chances

Vier Teams haben sich für Plätze im Formel-1-Feld beworben. Zwei sollen grünes Licht von der FIA bekommen. Damit liegt der Ball bei den F1-Verantwortlichen. Doch am Beispiel von Andretti Autosport könnte sich ein Machtkampf entzünden. Wir erklären die Hintergründe.www.auto-motor-und-sport.de
its typical F1 currently in my opinion. FIA & Me want more teams because more cars & more competition can only be a good for fans & more opportunities for drivers to prove themselves from F2 & other formulasBig article.
