>"With respect to the interest of motorsport, and F1 in particular, I have decided to give up my legal rights to race this weekend at the Melbourne Grand Prix. As I am a passionate race driver this decision has been very difficult for me.
However I also wish to respect the interest of the FIA, Sauber Motorsport, as well as Nasr and Ericsson.
My management will continue talks with Sauber early next week to find a mutually acceptable solution for the current situation that has now arisen.
I am confident such solution will be found and I will inform the media once done."

Well, either way, it's bedtime since the old man has taken control of the box. Night, fellow Backmarkers. Here's hoping the next race is less of a shitshow.

Alright guys, I've had time to think about the race yesterday and have since come to this conclusion.

Wow, who wants to F1 nowadays ? There are too much money involved and too much régulations, it kills the sport.

>>1463 If there were more ways to compete (engine development, more chassis freedom, less obsessively regulated aero) teams wouldnt be encountering diminishing returns in performance for dollar spent. In large part the cost cutting measures have made very marginal cost savings, but made running a competitive team or moving up the grid far more expensive.
F1 right now has a disrespect for the way economics work on a very basic level. We should seriously look at every rule made since 1994 and start striking them down. Also the team payouts need to be more fairly distributed.

>>1463 You're right, but the thing that scares me is that people think that "the sport" and "the show" are separate. In f1 half the sport is in the freedom to develop the cars in a limited restriction formula 1. This inherently produces good racing and consequently, a good show. FOM, the FIA, many fans, and the news commentators seem to think that adding more rules will improve things when it is the opposite. Those fake sparks looks ridiculous, drs and kers are extremely gimmicky and cheap concepts that take a lot of skill out.

>>1463 If you can't pay the bills, get out of the sport. Plain and simple. Makes room for more proper, relevant companies like Toyota and potentially Audi to get into F1, where we can have more battles rather than backmarkers shitting up the grid.

>>1466 And while you're not wrong in saying that unprofessional outfits shouldn't be in the top level of motorsport. The quest for lower speeds, overzealous safety measures, and draconian rules has disinterested manufacturers in taking the place of these backmarkers.
Michelin runs a wec program and has said several times that they don't want to make tyres that are regulated as heavily as they are, and with forced degradation.
Toyota runs a very successful wec program and will only run one effort of that level. It cost them far less to have this great pr in wec than it did for their mediocre team in f1.
Audi it seems only has a likely chance of joining f1 if Volkswagen group decides its Porsches turn to dominate wec.

>>1465 I totally agree. I believe that F1 is supposed to be the entry door for people discovering the Automobile World (at least in Europe since USA have much more different and fun auto competitions) , and therefore F1 should be fun to watch, exciting and gathering supporters. But F1 is failing at this task.
Good example: Moto3, 125cc bikes for everyone, 30+ riders, 7-8 riders in the same second at the starting Grid, not a single lap without overtake…and I could go on.
>>1466 Audi making AWD F1 to promote their Quattro ? Sounds fun.

>>2166 The key thing to f1 though is not to be gimmicky. F1 has to have good racing because of open and consistent rules, not retarded shit like reverse grids, spark making titanium blocks, drs, kers, double points, etc.
