When the new owners cut off all the extra money for Ferrari, what will the new break away series be called?

Peter Windsor thinks Ferrari deserves all the special money and favours because they are the only ones that could kill F1 by starting up a rival series.

Do you guys feel that way? I'd happily watch Smartcar battle Google on track as long as formula 1 is still open cockpit, open wheel and allows its teams to manufacture the cars. The history and heritage of the teams, while cool, is not the thing that makes f1 great for me. Drop Ferrari, drop Williams, drop Mclaren all at once if thats what it takes, the sport is still kicking without Maserati, Brabham and Super Best Friends, isnt it?

Nah, Bernie has a family trust and private stock in FOM. He has to get rid of that first.

If Ferrari, McLaren and Williams got together and formed a breakaway series they'd definitely could pull it off.

The biggest hurdle would be getting FIA approved since they'd do anything in their power to keep the status quo.

Other teams would only join them if Ferrari didn't have preferential treatment, so it would end up the same in the end with the added massive risk of this new series being a flop.

If we've learned anything from CART/IRL, it's not worth diluting the product. CART used to be the best open wheel racing series, from an entertainment standpoint, before it got ground into obscurity.

Hahaha Ferarri only have themselves to blame, what possible excuse can you have for not having the best team having the most prestige and power in the sport. Complete arrogance? Who knows. In other news, what am I doing with my life: https://twitter.com/Earlsimxx/status/776343468822130688

The "Ferrari are in crisis" talks are weird when "Like the third best team and constantly underperforming" is a good description of what Ferrari have done in their entire history outside of the Schumacher years. Do people even know F1 history

Well, anything other than P1 for Ferrari is considered a failure, I think (not a bad mentality to have). Otherwise I agree, the last time Ferrari finished outside of the Top 4 was 1981 (they finished 5th).

I'm just glad they've finally found a replacement for the old man who is as equally out of touch and willing to drop the axe for no real reason. edit: was there ever an explanation as to why the 156/85 turned to complete poo poo for the last third of the season beyond it just being "Ferrari"?

Lauda came to realise the truth that Ferrari are bad and McLaren are good and after puttering around for two years with his old British teammate beat a young upstart to the world title in his third year with McLaren. Just like Nando will.

He might be the worst. Good development driver though. It must have been weird in 1992 jumping back and forth from the FW14 to the BT60B.
