And they thought a manufacturer based series could work...
Uumm didn't they win the F1 Championship last year?

they confirmed that they are the best, so they don't have anything more to proof. probably they'll come back in 5 years, as they were doing in the past.
now we know why did alonso move to mclaren

It's the Renault way - arrive, win, piss off for a few years.
Also, I heard that one of the F1 manufacturers spent 'more than half their total dividend' on Formula 1 in 2005, and if you look at the manufacturers involved, that could only be Renault. Spending like that is unsustainable - they had 300 technicians working on the V8 alone. Silly.
so thats why Alonso decided to move to McLaren

1. I don't read Finnish.
2. Why should we trust these people when no one else is reporting this?
Odd, I always reckoned it was Ferrari as they still had the largest budget.Originally Posted by MrKipling
The idea of Renualt pulling out is old hat and always rumoured as iti s and has always been Renaults way in motorsport.

you're right, d, should more accurately have said the "French way" I guess

Ferrari do have a large budget, but I would imagine a lot of their sponsorship deals (certainly major ones) for 05 were struck a couple of years ago - and worth mega-bucks. Renault don't have the long-term stability of Ferrari and i should think are less able to command spectacular sums for ad space as a result. However, I'm not really sure how much they make from sponsorship. I have heard stories that Ferrari spent $500,000,000 on F1 in 2005 - but how much of that actually comes from the Maranello coffers?
