Quote ="Andy Gilder"Funny how F1 works, isn't it.
Ferrari built themselves a car that was fast, but not as reliable as usual in 2008. As a result one of their drivers lost out on the title despite winning more races than anyone else that season.
Now, all of a sudden and as if by magic, Bernie the Pixie decides he wants to change the rules to reward teams who are quick but not necessarily reliable (like Ferrari).
Surely he can't be that desperate for some liquidity to settle his divorce that he's resorted to receiving brown envelopes from the Maranello boys?
If this system comes in within two years you'll have an F1 starting grid with about 10 cars on it. What's the point of the likes of Honda, Force India and Williams staying in the sport if only the top 3 (mainly McLaren, Ferrari and the occasional interloper from Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Renault or BMW) get any reward for where they finish in the race?'"
i fully agree
