Can ferrari survive without f1

+1

I think that is at the root of the F1 malaise.

 

To be fair, Red Bull was the first one who broke the entente of top teams. But I mostly agree with you, F1 only will change if top teams push in the same direction instead of grabbing whatever Bernie throw at them.

 

I think they should be in both regardless. La Ferrari is practically a P1 car as it is. They could soup up the FXX, 599XX and LFXX. Why not make LF an LMP1 or at least LMP2? Audi has made a lot of headway in the void. Mazda rotaries would still be there if they weren't banned. Hmm, maybe MB V6 turbo hybrids should be banned?

 

In Europe, HAAS is just one of several CNC companies fighting for business and is not noted as being the major player in the market place, as it is in the USA.

A big part of the reason for HAAS joining F1 is to try and promote his CNC business around the rest of the World to increase it's comparatively small market share outside the USA.

As for claims of being: "The No.1 CNC manufacturer in the World", "The Worlds largest CNC manufacturer", "The top CNC manufacturer in the World" etc., etc., one way or another every large CNC company makes the same sort of claim. They simply adjust the definition used to make the claim (such as being number one based on numbers sold, number one based on sales value, number one based on market share, being the number one privately owned CNC company etc., etc., etc.). In reality, no one really knows who is the definitive number one CNC manufacturer in the World.
