Le Mans qualifying formula 1

after Le Mans qualifying formula 1,here’s some F1 news to balance things out:
  • The Lotus company have come out and said they are not associated with the current entry for the 2010 season that is assuming the same name. They’re contemplating legal proceedings, just like the Brabham family were as well. Why must people drag old names back to life if it is only going to cause problems? How about being a little creative and coming up with a new name?
  • Bernie Ecclestone has said he would also consider legal action against the manufacturers if they went ahead and started up their own breakaway series. Damon Hill has warned that if F1 went the same way as IRL, it would be a disaster. Will everyone involved sit up and take notice though?
  • Toro Rosso are to become the last team on the grid to bolt the double diffuser onto their car, although they suggest it is not as simple as that. Presumably, they could have just grabbed the info from Adrian Newey once he’d figured it out, so why has it taken them this long?

The ING Renault F1 Team has arise a new affiliation with MegaFon, one of Russia’s above telecommunications companies.

Formula 1 Insight the ghost of the year

It seems that Brabham, one of the anointed names of F1, has filed an access for the 2010 division forth with the added hopefuls. That includes March, addition able-bodied accepted name from the accomplished although not absolutely as illustrious as Black Jack's and Bernie's old team. For a moment, it ability assume that the abundant and airy canicule of the seventies are about to return.

Brabham badge

We should remember, however, that these are not the teams as we knew them; the rights to the names were awash afterwards their annihilation and annihilation charcoal of the absolute teams themselves. These are finer new start-ups, therefore, with conceivably alike beneath adventitious of success than the GP2 teams affective up to try their luck. One can alone achievement that, should these two teams anytime arise in the starting agency for a GP, they do not absolutely abashment the august names they accept assumed.

Max Mosley's old team, March, has rather beneath to alive up to than Brabham, accepting never won an F1 championship in its antecedent incarnations. Conceivably its greatest affirmation to acclaim was not the aboriginal canicule of Mosley captivation but the March-Judd 881, the aboriginal F1 car to advertise the talents of a adolescent artist called Adrian Newey.

Brabham, however, is a name that will be adamantine for any new aggregation to alive up to. Founded on solid, common values, its cars becoming championships for Sir Jack himself and Denny Hulme afore actuality awash to Bernie Ecclestone. Thanks to the ability of Bernie's designer, Gordon Murray, the aggregation was anon acceptable GPs afresh and provided Nelson Piquet with two of his three championships in the eighties. The abatement afterwards Murray larboard and Bernie awash the aggregation is best forgotten, abnormally as it ability prove an apocalyptic arrow to the new entrant's chances.

Which leaves me in two minds apropos the awakening of these old names. It would be admirable to see them acknowledgment with annihilation added than a adumbration of their antecedent gravitas but this is unlikely, to say the least. One ability alike doubtable that the entries accept been fabricated with a appearance to affairs on to whichever FOTA teams acquisition themselves afar by Max's attrition over the account cap.

That such an abstraction should alike action to me is absolutely an adumbration of how low our expectations of the backroom of F1 accept become. Just as money is aggressive to be the account of the sport's decline into farce, so it appears additionally as a accessible motivator for the wannabe teams lining up for entrance. And back back did any aggregation in F1 participate for profit? It is commonly an big-ticket bold and teams accept been advantageous to survive financially from year to year.

Not that I would altercate for the connected spending of ample abstracts by the absolute teams. Obviously, anniversary aggregation has to cut its bolt according to the agency accessible and there was consistently activity to be beneath money to absorb in the abreast future. It is this aberrant abstraction that aggressive in F1 should be a assisting business that does not assume right. If that is now the cardinal action abaft the sport, it seems that the spirit of Minardi is absolutely gone forever.
