Also, I support the 3 car team idea. More chances to weigh drivers against each other.
Three-car teams as the rules are currently written are a horrible idea. Consider that Mercedes would not be one of them. Also consider that if a third car finishes in a points-paying position, not only will that driver/team not get the points, neither will anyone else.
There's nothing wrong with F1 that telling Ferrari to compete on the same payout schedule as everyone else and a more equitable division of the profits wouldn't fix. Ferrari has convinced everyone that F1 would be lost without them, but without F1, Ferrari quickly becomes Lamborghini.
I wonder if the f1 payout structure is even legal within EU competition rules. I was reading the Friday press conference transcript with team principals. Apparently FErrari gets $170 million a year from FOM even before taking into account the WCC payout. That's more than the budget of most teams. Incredible.
My friend attended the race in Austin last weekend. He reported that you could carry on a conversation at just slightly above normal speaking level with the cars going by. He said the Porsche Cup cars were louder. I don't think he disliked the sound, just wished there were more of it.
