News this morning from Istanbul.
the drivers met with FOTA and they are all united behind them in the row. (hardly surprising)
And FOTA are now considering how to organise a breakaway series next year. According to very watered down sources, it would be the FOTA teams running 3 cars per team. Ferrari already rumored to have the Raikkonen, Massa, Alonso line up. Which to me is a virtual dream team.
They've also said they will make the cars as they should be. The fastest possible and none of this artificial dumbing down crap.
I really hope this is true. Just watching the highlights of the last few Turkish GP's, You have the beauty (in my opinion) of the 2006 cars, the speed of the 2007's, and the challenge of the 2008's. Quite honestly, this years cars have done nothing in terms of the show, oooh they wiggle around a little under braking. Whoopy, this time last year we had a BMW leading the championship, and an almighty title fight getting ready to kick off. This year its a 2004 repeat of two cars who could lap the field in almost every race if they wanted to, playing with the field.
I say bring on the split
