Formula One 2014

Doesnt sound like it....read the funding model? Will be lucky to scrape together the funds for LMP2...though if they do I will be there at Le Mans next year barracking them on

[djr81]

Farken crowd funding. Clearly a better business model than having actual capital to invest. Hopeless.

[tweety bird]

Yeh I really don't think it's going to happen.

What a maggot!

Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone says the easiest way to bring down grand prix ticket prices is for teams to accept less commercial rights income.

Bahahahaha!

That is all.

[tweety bird]

He does say teams get 70% of the money from the commercial rights.

[Roy]

70% from the commercial rights. In the F1 pool of money what is the commercial rights?

[djr81]

So who gets the advertising money - not the circuits. Actually is there a split out somewhere of roughly who gets what or is that all secret?

[Roy]

Yeh, Autosport have done some very revealing articles... inc the scam that CVC have going wioth hotels, logistics suppliers etc who all charge members of the series rapey prices for things the public get cheaper

[Roy]

So Alonso to McLaren...seems there is sooo much chatter today! Hope not. I would loved to have him to have been rewarded with a few more Fezzz WDCs

[djr81]

Rumour has Honda forking out to buy him out. Who to Ferrari then?

[djr81]

Too soon. I mean he looks to have some talent but shouldn't they put him in something a bit quicker for a year or two? Like a Sauber?

Pressure must be on Team Cheater Abu Dhabi if Kimi is to lead them next year based on this years results.

You would think Grosjean would still be half a chance at either McLaren or TCAD.

[wolverine]

TCAD lol

[Roy]

I hope something happens somewhere that gives Romain a shot at McLaren or Fezz. Still stick by my statements that Alonso will see out Fezz and Vettel a chance to sign for McLaren for 2016 season with Romain keeping his seat warm for 2015....which will effectively bne a drive off between Romain and Magnussen to see who will partner Vettel in 2016.

[Roy]

As delusional as Maldanado this bloke.

Scrappiest of races with penalities, running off the road left right and centre...yet is claiming it as his arrival drive. Where did he qualify again? Hack. Off you go to Nissan LMP1 program and leave Romain to fly the F1 flag

[djr81]

Guess you get desperate when you are looking at being unemployed.

Brabham crowd funding appears to be working.
