Jaguar Leaving F1
- Thread starter Warm Hands
- Start date
this will be the first wake up call for ecclestone and his clan of monkeys! fix this sport, and do it soon. it is just too damn expensive. they are losing fans as well, with their constant changing of the rules. put one set of rules in place, and leave them alone long enough for the teams to get used to them.
as for ford itself, this team did better when it was stewart, and run by sir jackie stewart. johnny herbert and rubens barrichello had some very good runs with this team, and herbert even won a race. ford came in half-arsed, didnt spend money, had no continuity with staff and personnel, and plain just didnt care. either come in 110%, or dont come in at all. the part that worries me is, that ford are selling off their cosworth division. hope this doesnt affect the champ car world series, as they run ford cosworth engines.

I guess you can add 3 F1 cars to the growing inventory backlog of Ford products out there on the market now.
Herbet definitely won a race for Stewart and if I recall it was their only victory.

That's hilarious. I wonder what kind of rebates they'll offer? Maybe some sweet financing?The Doctor said:
