Have you seen Toyota President Mr. Akio Toyoda crying while announcing Toyota's quitting F1 because of Toyota bad economy results this year?   Sad   Regards, Jose   Edit: And, Suzuki and Subaru quit the World Rally Championship.

Replying to: jlbl (Nov 04, 2009 12:59 pm) He's probably crying because they pissed away a few billion for nought. Toyota's departure means not one Asian maker left in Grand Pric racing yet a significant portion of races are held in Asia.   Something wrong with that picture? I for one think F1 needs to focus more on Europe, North and South America, less on marginal markets in Asia Replies to this message: jlbl (Nov 05, 2009 3:09 am)

Replying to: andys120 (Nov 04, 2009 1:27 pm) I couldn't agree more, Andy. Problem is all the money Bernie Ecclestone is making with the new spectacular/exotic circuits licensed by him around the world.   Regards, Jose
#260 of 263 Quitting by jlbl Nov 06, 2009 (4:49 am)
And Renault, which has won the Championships (drivers, constructors, engines) several times, is also considering leaving F1. Robert Kubica must be very disappointed   link title   Regards, Jose Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 06, 2009 9:24 am) andys120 (Nov 06, 2009 10:11 am) jlbl (Nov 06, 2009 10:28 am)

Replying to: jlbl (Nov 06, 2009 4:49 am) If Renault were to quit F1, the financial basis of the sport would be seriously undermined. Apparently Bridgestone has dropped out as well. I don't see how Daimler, Ferrari/Fiat and Red Bull can support the sport, it's hit the iceburg and taking on water. Replies to this message: jlbl (Nov 06, 2009 10:28 am)

Replying to: andys120 (Nov 06, 2009 10:11 am) Indeed Renault out of F1 would be a great loss IMO. It is one of the big teams. FOTA will miss Renault as long as FIA and Ecclestone will be less challenged in the battle for F1 leadership.   On the other hand, Renault t is a big sponsor not only of sport teams but also of entire "lower" championships in which young drivers have the opportunity to build up themselves as experienced pilots. Renault has a strong sport background, I will be glad if it stays in F1 eventually.   Bridgestone leaving F1 was agreed time ago. Its contract as the one and only tyre supplier of F1 ends at the end of 2010 season. Michelin will take over Bridgestone then.   Regards, Jose
