Formula 1 budget quarrel

Many formula one teams want to exit, because they want to spent more than 45 million EUR per year. Is this the right investment at the right time?






This teams want to waste in the Formula One much more money, like there was no Peak-Oil and the initiated by this economy crisis.

  Questions for the dropouts


  • Toyota, still not able for a Plug-in Hybrid, was their not enough money for the battery development?
  • Ferrari, where is the anser for the Tesla? The 21,3 litre NEDC consumption of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano can be seen as a symbol for extreme inefficient engine technology.
  • Renault, why is there no Renault Kangoo Cleanova II Plug-in Hybrid like pronounced at ther EVER Monaco 2007? Why only an only electric car unsuitable for 95% of the consumers instead of a plug-in hybrid?
  • BMW, the electric Mini is a joke, maybe there was not enough money, because of all the money spent in the Formula One.
  • McLaren-Mercedes, how much further could be the development, with all the money for the Formula One invested more reasonable? Certain further than on my best photo from 2008

  Formel 1 - the festival of squandering, while the customer is in trouble


Sprint 2008, the oil price explodes, for many house owners in the US, the long way to the workplace in inefficient gasoline cars becomes a nightmare. Too much money spent for gasoline, the down payment can not be paid. Real estate banks go bancrupt, investment banks go bancrupt. Worldwide economy crisis.

Solar electric power is far cheaper than gasoline, but this does not help, when there are no cars able to drive with electric power. The necessary money for the development wasted in the Formula One.
