crisis meeting!

just found this on itvf1 what do ya think?

Minardi boss Paul Stoddart believes the demise of Jaguar means it is now time that F1

i think it was ej that said that!

I know, but EJ usually gets his head down and gets on with the task of running his team, whilst Stoddart does his best to blast the big teams (who he needs to co-operate with him to survive) in every interview he gets. Hes making the situation worse for himself every time he goes off on a bender going on about Mercedes and BMW having it in for him

And if bmw, merc, honda were not in F1 there would be no f1.

Sorry if teams can not afford to be there then they should shut up shop. I know it sounds harsh but i agree with Bernie. I would rather see 3 ferraris, 3 williams etc but all the drivers being allowed to score points.

Just think how much better it would be there would be 12 cars able to win instead of 5

i think stoddards problem is hes austrialian ,well there all paranoid anyway must be something to do with being decendants of criminals LOL:p

LMAO

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

well they do have a big money spending power
and it would take alot of dedication from other engine companies to do as well as these teams

oooh them be fightin words! :P

@ Korn_Freak: well in the famous words of the cowardly lion "put um up put um up!!"lol:P

or as Homer said, "I challenge you to a duel"
But Vader, who could come in and take the place of those manufacturers? Peugeot stepped out years ago, and I don't think Volkswagen (or any of its subsidiaries) will step in.

Personally, I don't want a Sauber powered by Suzuki, for example :P You know what I mean

who says a big manufacturer has to come in?

funny how stoddart always claims he has no money, and is then seen on tv with the biggest gold watch you've ever seen on his wrist.

its reported he's gonna sell some of his old F1 cars collection to raise about $5 million.

I was waiting for Vader to talk about this point, since he would probably point out something some of us would oversee.... so you better start putting some names here, Sim :P

ok but who will make the engines? did people moan like this in 1988, 1989,1990,1991 etc.

Nope they got on and done the job. The main problem is testing back in them days they did not test as much and that kept the costs down

which is why we need cost cutting, to prevent more teams from going to the wall if [when] more manufacturers pull out

I think instead of Bernie lowering the cost to enter F1 (48 million dollars), he should help teams coming in by granting them some money. Either "free money", or something to be paid back after some years. Maybe then Dallara would come back, and Arden could enter.
