www.paddypower.ie – Formula 1 and its Troubles

  • February 5th, 2009

www.paddypower.ie – After the demise of Aguri Honda last year the signs were set in place that the once great sport of Formula 1 Motor racing was in trouble, and now that doubt has now been set in stone after Honda pulled out of this year’s championship and now with the news that both Toyota and Renault are really struggling is this the beginning of the end of a sport that has been around for decades.

With so many new rules being implemented this season a lot of teams have found it very hard to adjust their cars to come into line with the new rules and when you consider so many of the teams are controlled from the UK (who is at the start of an economical melt down) it is very hard to see the sport being able to carry on in the next five to ten years.

It is not just the teams that have had to dig deep though because the governing body the FIA have upped the driving super license fee that drivers have to renew yearly and in Lewis Hamilton’s case it could cost in the region of 200,000 GBP according to various sources. With this hike in the price this year many drivers have threatened to boycott races this year in protest so if something is not agreed very soon between the authorities in charge and the drivers I can see this season’s championship becoming a farce due to the fact teams have already dropped out and the drivers are not happy with what they are being charged.
