Fia Announces Standard Engine Tender

Recommended Posts

Should Ferrari be the ones providing the engine then I wouldn't worry.

Actually all of the teams (FOTA) have agreed they won't apply (source). Aside from that, don't you think it would be bloody stupid for Ferrari to make such a massive statement if they were thinking of applying?

Let's dig deeper into what makes you and me, me and you.

Lets talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be, lets talk about spec.

The point of spec series is maximum cost savings per quantity not quality, nor innovation.

Saying spec racing even has a point is a bit generous, don't you think?

Well then it can finally be proven, After Schumi left, F1 started Dying... :P

:lol: I will admit I enjoyed Schumacher vs Alonso, but I'd much rather have a sport with real cars and real regs without the rivalries than one with lame rules and a rivalry. I just missed the good era, so the rivalry was the best I had, because I just can't get hyped up about Massa vs Lewis when Massa's just too "nice" to be a rival and Lewis is just...Lewis.

F1 declined when Mosley took over, and it's been pretty steady since then.

F1 has been on a steady decline since it became a business. That is down to the need of the corporate coffers and a trend of the greedy mixed up world we live in, not just Max.
