Here We Go Again - The FIA Advertises for New Teams
« on: December 13, 2013, 04:10:21 PM »
The FIA has opened the bidding process for possible new teams.  It's the same old platitudes being put forward about budget capping to try to entice potential candidates on board, but we all know what happened about that the last time.

I can't see anyone being interested in taking up this offer.  The independents cannot compete and the manufacturers aren't interested in anything other than their bank balance.  On that basis, who on earth is going to apply?

One the one hand, the old teams are struggling for survival, yet FIA is processing for new teams? How come a sports-body like FIA is so much distorted ?? :o :o

You answered your own question...There probably won't be 11 teams next year.

Either that, or it will be a young billionaire relying on that maxim to reduce their fortune to evade tax authorities...
