Refuelling ban would be a big loss
Refuelling ban would be a big loss
Don't know, after all it's a bit silly to have an almost "sprint" race when you try everything to gain 1 tenth on the track and then you can loose one second in the pits.
Also, recently the quantity of fuel at the beginning of the race and how pit stops were working, were basically the only things to add a bit of "interest" in the mix, so avoiding it could help finding something better, or kill what was still there.
I tend to embrace the first option, looking at motorbikes' races, where the fuel isn't an issue but tires are when at the end of a race they are running out of rubber.

Michelin would be the only alternative if Bridgestone for some reason cant supply the FOTA teams, which i cant imagine why they wouldnt be. Surely the EU would be on the FIA's back if they tried to limit Bridgestone as i'd imagine it would be against some anti competition law.
Michelin's '06 tyres would be 100x better than what Bridgestone are currently supplying as well.
I am the Stig
back in 2006 there were two companies making tires, so supposedly the competition should have resulted in better tires.
Maybe, but I wouldn't dare to compared them to this year's one, so many things changed, among which, the cars too.

I think this has an oportunity to turn out well for the sport, since it gives some impetus to try to change some of the things wrong with F1 right now, and we all know there are some things wrong. But if this turns into another CART-IRL thing where both sides are too stubborn to do anything it could go very badly.

The Italian commentators spent the whole British GP claiming how well the FOTA is doing, how good are their intentions, and how bad FIA is, how few Ferrari were shown recently during GPs converages and so on.
I'm pro FOTA at the moment, but such kissing asses is a bit too much.

while Brawn declared negotiations with FIA are over just before of the rsce, and that they are already defining their own new series, Mosley had claimed a deal is close.

ROFLMAO
Typical Tifosi ... can't even comprehend that they STILL get more coverage than the teams around them in the performance stakes.
Belief in a "right" to be televised even if they're slow and boring ??
THAT is what is wrong when the teams have to reach agreement !!
Here during the translation a possible contract with Michelin was mentioned, apart from the fact that next week FOTA may start discussing their technical regulations.
I'm wondering if the A1GP organizer would swoop in and back the FOTA breakaway.
...although A1GP uses Ferrari engines and chassis...
