Back in the hands of engineers? Have you seen the tech regs? F1 is as much in the hands of engineers as A1GP.

Since when is the recession over, the falls have slowed, but thats inevitable, global economy is still in a mess, Toyota, leading automobile manufacturer just 3-4 years ago is on verge of bankruptcy.

Investment to recover from recession would nnot be huge marketing investment anyway, but core business.

Thats my two cents anyway.

I agree that there are many other ways to improve the return on F1 investments, but surely a strict budget cap is one way to stop teams from hurting themselves and level the playing field as well.

If Renault do go can they sell the team back to who they brought it off so we can have Benetton or at a stretch Toleman back on the grid.

The latest Concorde agreement was muddle up in under a month and did not include planing and preparation of years you talk about. No agreement can bind a car manufacturing company or any company to compete in any sport, that is outside of the jurisdiction of the FIA, even if Mosley wanted and tried very hard to implement it. Concorde agreements between the sport governing body and its teams should include rules relating to the sport itself and rules issued by the “sport” governing body. And yes it was Mosley’s plan to take more control, have you been sleeping for the past couple of years? Even if it was written in the Concorde agreement, it doesn’t apply, just wait and you’ll see. If an international company was inescapably contractually bound to compete in a sport, which in reality isn’t possible, then im sure they wouldn’t have pulled out. It doesn’t say anywhere that the latest Concorde agreement was in fact signed by the manufacturers themselves, none of us could be sure exactly who signed what and how. So stop talking **** #$%^head

The US economy grew by 3.5% last quarter.

This recession has hit the US hardest of all. The rest of the world has recovered much sooner than the US has.
