    And the players at the top will continue making more money they don't need to the detriment of the actual teams that compete that do.Fans aren't turning up to races,fans aren't paying to watch on TV,half the field is slower than F2 cars driven by kids,the cars themselves sound like a Tdi defender and they have to drive slower to save fuel because they want F1 to be ''green''.F1 is in serious decline but the people at the top can't see it over their money pile.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
