[QUOTE="Driftin, post: 55364, member: 628"] Ya know the fan base is what it is all about and that is why F1 draws more viewers than any form of motor sports. Ferrari has been a fixture since F1 started in 1950. Alfa, Mercedes, Lotus, Mclaren and Ferrari along with a few others have dominated at one time or the other. If you want very restricted formula cars watch IRL or CART. Or F3000 for that mater. Attendance figures and tv viewings should tell you what people want and F1 is doing great in that respect. All motor sports are strugling in that respect. I would hate to think that Williams, with BMW's money will not get its turn sooner or later as will Mclaren Mercedes again. Red has the car and most importantly the best driver in F1 till 2006. Then you will see a change if Williams and Mclaren do not catch Ferrari by then. Ferrari has 53 years experience in F1 and before they hired Schumacher they had struggled for many years (even with Prost). Formula 1 has been around as the top form for many years and it should remain so. And by the way Martin, F1 has not ben unlimited at any time in its history. [/QUOTE]
