This weekend see`s the last of the official tests@jerez prior to the season opener at Losail, this test has a twist tho`, for 40 minutes the racers have a mini timed session, and the fastest guy gets a top of the range BMW......nice.......Eurosport will be running it...
The Oz Gp has an issue regarding funding... not that they have`nt any, but that the venture(read vulture) capitalist group, who co-own F1, have a mouth-wateringly, HUGE, debt to pay to the Royal bank of Scotland, this ,in turn, translates to asking for more money from the organisers of Gp`s, and as the taxpayers in Oz will tell you, `it`s not cheap mate!' AND said vultures want it to be a night race so the wusses in Europe can have a lie-in, cue the greens....
This kind of upsets the guys at Silverstone... they have just got planning permission to develop the circuit even further...... upgrade the pits..... spend oodles of money with the local builder( I just re-located) because the vultures want ALL the circuits to coughlin up, and threaten to go elsewhere if they don`t!!
So, in the parts of the world where the audience at a Gp is zero,... emissions control is way down on the `things to do, list',... expect to see more government-funded circuits to be built, and audiences frog-marched to their seats, told when to mexican wave..... If they had cut the costs sensibly in F1 years ago, built tunnels at circuits.... instead of wind tunnels...(we don`t need to drive on the tunnel ceiling) stuck to racing with drivers who had no electrickery, then, maybe we would`nt be looking at a balance sheet dictating the future of the sport, and maybe hearts would rule.....
