It might be tough this year, but once they have some data from races, I can see next year being a good year for them.

What do you guys think of Vijay Mallya vetoing Marussias return to the grid? On one hand its a dick move and it seems like hes being extremely selfish but on the other hand Marusia would just be at the back of the grid again and probably not able to complete a full season.

After reading this:
F1's pitiful 18-car grid - and a good week for WEC - F1 Fanatic

Makes me think WTF is F1 doing? LMP1 has 35 cars!?! Thats crazy. Not that the bottom 4 were any competition, 18 cars is a bit pathetic IMO.

WEC has become the new showcase of the cutting edge technology, and thats why there are way more factory backed cars. Yea with all these teams leaving f1, its not a good look. Bernie needs to get with the times(which won't happen)

But does all 35 LMP1 cars race every WEC event?

Quality or quantity?

I wouldn't want 26 cars in f1. I've always liked the 16-18 car field.


Edit: You know, one thing I agree with in the article is the respect given to constructors. I really liked it when f1 had 3.0L NA and 1.5L FI rules. Build whatever shape and cyl # engine you want... Just has to fit these guildlines.
