Even if F1 fans hope to see the best technology applied to race cars, the expects of the competition is to follow a entertainment and some sport, now that has been blurry with the big problems of some teams to face other's projects and budgets. So the F1 went somehow boring, predictable and lacking some factor of entertainment in some races. So, the idea to making the cars more equal is not bad, just if the F1 doesn't convert to another category itself, the price to enter into the game should be lower and the budget needed to hold the team structures going to every race should be rather reasonable for any big spender, teams on their own ways to getting the money and also newcomers. Hopefully the grid is filled in the next years with some brand new teams, which will be a better offer of entertainment every race and the sports scope would raise. Yes! That would be a pleasure :) <abbr><em>Kotenoks last blog post..<a href="http://f1wolf.ning.com/xn/detail/u_3t17hkipzqa5j" rel="nofollow">F1Wolf left a comment for azril deadman</a></abbr></em> Yes, that’s right.

Apparently the guy is a bit of a motorsport nut and has previously even raced cars for Toyota so there is a good chance that he will want to keep the program running. In saying that though, he will probably need some results to back up his want for it to continue and i guess a win is the best way to do that. If Toyota don't win a race this year, then they could be in trouble, unless they produce some pretty consistent and outstanding performances netting a good run of podiums then it could spell an end to the team. This is all obviously not considiring future rule changes and more cost cutting measures being bought in as well. We could all see this as the nd of the sport, but then more changes will be made and we might (hopefully) end up with a few extra teams on the grid racing around much to all F1 fans pleasure!

It has to be hard to justify the massive expense of F1 when car sales are down 30%, especially when you don't win. I hope that the world economy turns around in the next 10 months.
