It's a shame in my view. The FIAs handling of the product that is F1 has been pi$$ poor lately. I would have liked to have seen a championship
run with the FOTA rules.
As for two championships causing a dilution of the sport I very much doubt it. This sport's biggest problem is that it has a monopoly and hence
little reason to innovate and improve.

depends how you view F1 is it a sport or a Show most think it is a sport but after the last 2 years I would say its a 'circus show'.
dont know how it can be fixed but in my opinion max going may be the first step in the right direction

I suspect Mr Ecclestone might have had a word in his ear about now being the right time to retire.
Not much he'll let get between him and his cash machine.

I'd put a fiver on Max not going this year after all, unless the WMSC have said they wouldn't vote for him. Looks like FOTA may have
managed to out-manoeuvre him this time, maybe....

I'll have £20 on it myself please. I wouldnt trust that guy as far as I can throw him and am sure he'll get all the teams commited to F1
for next year before figuring out some way of getting himself re-elected regardless of what he says.

Personally, I couldn't give a toss about F1 anymore, it's dull and tedious compared to club racing (Locosts at Snetterton for £12 entry as
an example) and BTCC which gets my ticket money every time.
Maybe Max going will get rid of some of the idiocy of recent years, we just need to get rid of Bernie now as he is just as much to blame for the
farcical 'racing' we get in F1.
Ho hum. I bet he doesn't go though.

Formula 1 is not a sport. There is no emotion, no cut and thrust.
A car breaks down they just turn away and pack up, just like going home from the office.

Bye Bye Mr Whippy - there'll be a lot of dry eyes there! Good riddance.
Now we just need to get rid of the poison dwarf!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Beware although Luca migh look like he has done a Buffy job and it might look like the wicked witch is dead but the Moseley's don't give
up the easily Max seems to believe in the divine right of the FIA (for FIA read Max Mosley) -- expect Max will have cunning plan to make his
resignation invalid but still try to bind FOCA teams to the new agreement. Even worse would be a an FIA run by Alan Donelly or Jean Todt.
It is woprth reading this link to an Autosport article
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/76247
If only Ferrari hadn't been lead by the nose into a pointless bloody war with McLaren by Todt and Moseley the whole situation would never have
occurred.

I certainly won't shed a tear when (if) Max goes, but half of the problems are caused by Bernie lining his pockets. The decent tracks
can't afford to pay his exorbitant fees to host a race, so we're left with govt sponsored races at pants tracks in asia with no support
whatsoever, while those fans still able to go to a decent race at a decent track have to pay through the nose. But apparently it's the teams
that need to cut costs....
