Max Mosley: F 1 Can Live Without Ferrari

[dominique355]

In his struggle to control 100% of Formula 1, Max Mosely is prepared to any sacrifice even the most poplular and iconic (and most successful) Formula 1 team: Ferrari.

What do you think:

Can or should Formula 1 go on without Ferrari?

What would happen if, as a result of Max Mosley's policy, Ferrari will withdraw from Formula 1?

Will Formula 1 be more popular?

Or is this finally enough to get rid of Mad Max?

Its time for this control freak to leave F1. I think that if Ferrari left F1 would die a slow death. I think the top teams would follow Ferrari and create a new series and bring back what F1 fans want , that is fast cars with good overtaking capabilities, not green & clean cars he would have us watch. His constant interfering and his outright hatred for Maclaren should have finished him off ages ago.

For 15 years, I watched F1 from start to finish every race, regardless of the hour.

Over the last 2-3 years, the constant politics and off-track stuff has left me 'no longer caring' about the sport anymore.

Well done Bernie and Max!

Did I watch Barcelona? forgot it was on. Sad but true.

I don't think Bernie will let things get to the point where Ferrari and other teams leave F1. FAR too much money will be lost.

Hopefully, this saga will result in Mad Max leaving. Bernie may have to finally let his friend go if F1 is to survive.

Very few tears will be shed over the loss of Max compared to the loss of the big teams in F1!

Fully agree F1fanatic. I was having the same conversation yesterday. Bernie is first and foremost a business man. As much as he may like Max he isn't going to sit back and watch him destroy F1. Too much lovely money to be lost. Without Ferrari F1 will be history. Its time for somebody, like Bernie, to hand Max the loaded revolver and bottle of scotch!
