I did not note the ALMs involvement. My comment on them being a mediocre team still stands. If I do have a racing team, with the lottery that is IRL and oval racing I would hope to have more than just 1 win over 20 seasons.

Bobby Rahal is a driver and owner I have never been a fan of and took him to task about 20 years ago in a radio interview when he dumped Honda just before Honda started winning but he has accomplished more then all but a very elite group. I give him respect for that. It was his car that went for the win at Indy this year. Watch Letterman's interview: http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_s...cD9YpSCV&nrd=1 |

I am shocked as to what it not considered mediocre. To me mediocre is a team that is mid-pack at best. |

DC Won Monaco twice, Monza, Imola, Interlagos etc... Being an F1 driver in a team like McLaren and winning many races at multiple famous tracks around the world is mediocre? I agree he is not in the same league as Alonso but give him some credit You would really trash my driving career if you think that a multimillionaire multiple race winner like DC had a mediocre career |

I dont think you guys realize what mediocre really means. Anything under a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10 is by my definition mediocre. DC prob is getting the short end of the stick though. |

I'm very much looking forward to engines being part of the discussion in F1 again: http://scarbsf1.wordpress.com/2012/0...014-f1-engine/
1.6L turbo? Yes, please. Trickle down tech into road cars? Yes, please! |

I'm neither yay, or boo on that. I rather just see trickle down tech / high tech innovation.

just a thought, not even sure if I thought this all they way through.
With the new engines, and the FIA throwing any idea possible at the sport to make it more exciting. I was thinking aobut a different approah to force teams to make more responsible choices. Until now they have been using the regulations to specify how many new engines teams can use. What if they took away the limit on new engines, and just put a 5 grid spot penalty when ever they wanted to put a new/different engine in the car. I don't know if im going about this idea correctly, but the idea is to tie spending to something that can help smaller teams. Someone said it earlier, the bigger teams can afford to try a couple different things with the engines, and see what works. If you have a smaller budget, you need to wait and see what is working for the other guys, and then make some changes, so you limit your risk and spending a bit. But you are also behind the curve. And since everyone would forced to change engines at some point, it ties your strategy to the entire season. It also could force teams to try a different race strategy each weekend. To compensate for the starting position. On a side note, the tire limit would need to be revised also. Why limit tires, let teams use as many as they want, they are paying the pit stop penalty already? |
