There's no limit the the FIA's greed...
Now they want a 40 million ? limit (some 45 mill ? or 50 mill $) to the F1, but excluding
marketing-
FIA fines- (!)
agency-
windtunnel test-
testdrivers !? (no testing allowed) and driver-
costs.
These teams will get some technical shortcuts and a new commission(!)
will be founded to check out these new rules!?
And for the possible three new teams they will give a generous
10 million US $ help.
Of my f**king gosh.

Is there no more hope for us and our favourite sport? Why don't these two bums just retire and get lost? Let someone in who loves the sport and not money. I think the problem here is Bernie now. We all know he got divorced and since he put all the money in his wife name to avoid tax in UK, he is almost bankrupt I guess. hahaha.. he has to sue his wife for his share.
This means Bernie will hanging around more to make his lost billions which in turn keeps Max in FIA for fear his buddy bernie will get hold of that too. If that happened then bernie will be in total control and deep down inside FIA + Max don't want it. They must be sore about how they gave up the tv rights over to the shortie years ago. Must be some bad blood in there somewhere.
Either way, we the fans have lost out. What used to be at the pinnacle of motorsport, full of exciting racing, has now become like a marriage of 50 years. just sticking around because we are used to it, bored and waiting for the day when either one ends up 6 feet under.
cheers

Bernie is now a "single playboy" and his buddy Max likes kinky Nazi sex plays.
What to expect. :thumbsdown:
Shame on these "boys".

Looks like the FIA has quietly tried to reintroduce the winner takes all plan for 2010... They apparently included it in the draft 2010 regs, but curiously failed to mark it as a change along with the other new regulations which were all highlighted...

I still can't figure out why they would want to do this. If you think about it someone could win the championship with 4-5 races left in the season, if they go on a winning streak early in the season. The team could literally not show up for the remaining races and still win the championship. The current points system creates finishes like last year, where it came down to the last turn of the last race.

Now these Turds say the Ferrari and the UK GP can also go. :thumbsdown: 
Also they want to keep the far East races in the late afternoon, so that all can see the races will rain away.
A 40 ? mill budget is not from this world, even if this is the most intelligent idea they have, but...
How could a double rules F1 season function?
The budgets must come down.
The 2010 series could go for 70 mill, the 2011 season 60 mill etc.
But how will they control it?
These Turds really think they can rule over the car manufactures and the fans.
They are simply so fu**ked up in their minds, with all the money they have,
and women leaving them.
Will Bernie and Max leave a legacy that they destroyed the Formula 1 in the
early 21st century, is it really what they want?
Just because their dicks don't work anymore?
