Problem is the "salary cap" won't be of equal height for all teams. Those adopting KERS and other FIA technical recommendations will be allowed to wear top hats, those not following them will get only berets. And FIA changes its recommendations year after year like only a capricious child can do. For instance, when teams asked FIA early last summer if diffusors would be allowed, FIA say they would not. Then Brawn Mercedes took advantage of an ambiguous regulatory clause and Brawn Mercedes cars came with diffusors that were declared legal even after the protest of the teams that had renounced to them.
 
It's only the old fight between FIA and FOCA fight to control F1. In this case I favour FOCA, yet it is true a sort of counterweight is necessary to keep balance for the sake of F1 and the so called "little" teams. If only FIA decisions hadn't consistently got the fidgets…

Jose

Old superstion about green cars being bad luck in racing perhaps? Or did they mean no hybrids need apply
