We are always hearing about this, but there never seems to be any action. It's very well saying costs need to come down, but what about actually doing something about it?
Admittedly, the political side of F1 is not my strong point, but Dieter Rencken's articles always make it clear - the sport is in a mess right now. It just pains me that we can't have nice things in motorsport, without somebody, somewhere, doing their damndest to screw it all up. All the teams have their own separate agendas too, and instead of working together for the greater good of F1, they sort of have this shrug your shoulders and say "s'not my problem guv" attitude.
To paraphrase something Paul Stoddart said in-light of the Indianapolis 2005 farce "the FIA needs to get a grip of the sport before there's no ****ing sport to get a grip of any more."
I know that there has always been teams struggling financially, but it just seems worse than ever at the moment. Away from the big four, all the teams are struggling to survive, and more and more are having to resort to pay drivers. That can't be healthy, long term.
