Well he as so far tried to hoodwink FOTA and the general racing public that a whole host of teams are joining and even a few old names for nostalgia i.e Lola Lotus etc Why not go the whole way and have new drivers change their name by deep poll? We could have Fangio racing again, Sterling Moss, Aryton Senna, Ascari and his dads favourite Mercedes driver Dick Seaman. This way by using the same names of famous ex-drivers, the new drivers would be considered to be of the same quality as the drivers who's name they use. You know, in the same way naming a standard part kit car Brabham or Lotus, will make it a thoroughbred F1 car. But, if there are copyright or some kind of law preventing a racing driver to change their name to that of drivers past, Fangio would be Thangio, Hairton Sienna, Pacari.............cannot think of any others ![]()
