Its just a shame you have no idea what your talking about. Appeal to ignorance at its best.

Three posts and you've already confirmed yourself to be a complete numpty. Way to go.

you made one post and you already turned yourslef into an idiot.


Again, no. You're completely wrong. All the big teams have their own sponsors. Sponsors don't create teams. What the hell do you think, that Cheerios also makes piston rings and driveshafts on the same assembly line on which they make cereal boxes?



As has already been pointed out, wrong again. You really don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about.

A simple piece of advice: if you aren't knowledgeable on a particular subject, keep your fool mouth shut.

you made one post and you already turned yourslef into an idiot. Those teams your talking about would not be in existence without those top sponsors and that sponsor selectively hired a manager to pick out the racing teams members ( minus special teams that have been started from scratch). So in this case the sponsor is the racing team and they overall decide what is good for the racing team/company. I dont think you have any general idea about what goes on in racing or business just in general. You make false claims based on " oh hey the rule is 12 so it must be 12 only becuase they said so and there would be no other reason why "... your dumbass has no idea wtf hes talking about

Quote from Lateralus :

Your lack of knowledge of how F1 works is abundantly clear. The number of teams in F1 has absolutely nothing to do with the number of sponsors interested in in the sport; that number is regulated by the FIA and is currently at 12. Whether there is one sponsor in F1 or one thousand, it's 12.

Your lack of knowledge in business is abundantly clear. The numbers of teams in any racing sport has a lot to do with the number of sponsors. Each sponsor wants as much advertising as they can. Look at Nascar, all the big sponsors all have their own team which enables them to have their own specific fans for their company and the coverage they get on their teams logo ( thats why nascar and its outside sources brings in more gross profits than F1 does annually ). If there was a huge influx of f1 interests the FIA would easily change that rule to a higher number becuase of special interests. The only reason F1 is at 12 is becuase they cant find enough sponsors. If you want to act like a faggot to everyone on this board than go right ahead.

Quote from UncleBenny :

I thought the same thing. Who are the American sponsors going to sponsor other than the two American cars? Unless he's saying all the Nascar teams are going to switch over to F1 instead.

Doubt it.

What Im trying to say is we missed out on huge potential... If nascar wasnt around all those huge companies would most likely be involved in F1. In result, there would be dozens of teams and money generated.

Problem with the US right now is all the fans ( bandwagon ones ) are all focusing on nascar. In order to switch these huge groups of fans to F1 will be hard. The potential of taking all the nascar sponsors to F1 would be ridiculous... there would be dozens of teams trying to qualify and wouldnt make it becuase of the huge grid of teams thats already on there. Ferrari wouldnt even be a top contender anymore... it would be more like kimi raikkonen driving for M&M's and lewis hamilton driving for cheerios or some crazy company.... it kind of sucks that f1 & the USA lost a lot of potential together... it will take years for F1 to be great in the US.
