BBc Reports that
Doesn't seem like too much of a new broom .... in fact there's plenty there to have gotten Max excited - especially the bit about "new discipline". But seriously, if Jean Todt is basically validating Max's ideas, and it seems like he is, does that add some weight to their validity or was Jean the chosen successor purely on the basis that he would continue the path of "Moselyism"? A case of "right message, wrong delivery" perhaps? Jean T may yet bring Max's ideas to fruition by not choosing the path of conflict at every opportunity. |

If they let Kers have unlimited use during a race I am sure the technology would have been in every F1 car. As it is the boost time and the weight of the system made it expensive for what it did and only Ferrari and Mclaren got any use from it. That said are the above keeping KERS next year or have all teams dumped it? So much for cost savings!! |

The ideas Max Mosely expounded were sound, his methodology of implementing them was terribly unsound. Thats what Todt has to change. Theres no need to dump the ideas. If F1 has to survive, it has to go down this road, but sensibly. Luca is saying the same thing -

F1 needs to assimilate its technology with the one for street cars. That was the main reason for manufacturers to leave F1 during the financial crisis. Why spend millions that can barely be integrated to a certain level to the main core business. Todt seems to have a different approach to Moseley, so we hope. |

And they are both right.Like it or like it not the sad fact is that F1 is still stuck in the past. Enviromental pressure on the car industry is growing stronger and and stronger every day, and manufacturers are facing ever stricter emission controls. Unless F1 ittself addressses this problem, I am very much afraid that the powers that be will address them for it. |
