F1 is now so expensive, there has to be some sort of way of recovering costs. For Mercedes, it's advertising. For everyone else, it's, er, advertising (except maybe Ferrari). |

One of the problems I have with all this, is the description of F1 - the pinnacle of motor sport. If indeed this is the pinnacle then why is it that Mercedes are supplying so many teams in such a controlled way. Where is Audi,BMW,Citroen,Peugeot,Nissan,Hyundai and Toyota to name a few. Why are these giants not on the grid. Tell you what,if they where on the grid it would certainly sort out the reliance on Mercedes.

Ferrari is all about advertising. Ferrari advertises crap jackets and terrible aftershaves by selling cars, tbh.

I'd like to see one or two more engine manufacturers in F1, but four is sustainable - I'd rather see Honda competitive. |
