F1 Relegations
Pitpass is reporting that Max Mosley wants to introduce a “relegation scheme” whereby persistantly slow teams are booted out to make room for other teams. There’s more than that, one of the suggestions is that a team consistently running at the back may be forced to drop one of its cars. In an even wackier version of this plan, the team could be “relegated” to GP2.
I haven’t seen this reported elsewhere, and because it is second hand from the News of the World (English tabloid), it’s hard to say how accurate it is. On the face of it there does seem to be some wacky ideas expressed. What’s wrong with the traditional way whereby the sports authorities slowly strangle the financial lifeline of any private team they don’t like where they wish to make way for a new advertising billboard of a team?
