The world economy is on the ground and also before an economically tightly organized racing series like the Formula ! does not stop this situation. According to the latest press reports, it is not yet clear whether the Hamburg Reemtsma Group will continue its commitment (McLaren-Mercedes) or at least to the usual extent can continue. The Hamburg Group is for sale! Also with other teams has become agitated, since many of the sponsors are in economic activity. This is also the case with Ferrari, whose sponsor Vodafone seems to be a little upset by the aggressive takeover of Mannesmann D2! What is your opinion on this: is Formula 1 in recession and what effect will it have on racing?

Hello together, since there are now go-karts with road registration (http://www.mietshop-system.de/…/shop.php?art=kat&%3Bkat=3) I wonder why there are no F1 (reconstructions) with road registration. I think the fun would be some things to take. It doesn’t have to be the current F1 technology in it, and you could also increase the freedom of the bends. It’s just about the feeling… Or there is something, and I just missed it… Greetings Tim

Hello to you Formula 1 cracks! Today I had a rather interesting discussion with one of my employees about the last Formula 1 season, whereby we came to talk about the development of the last years and the question, where it goes with the F1. But somehow we “hooked” each other with the drivers, especially with Ralf Schumacher. I have to admit, I am not an F1 freak, who knows about all the details etc. always and always. But I follow the whole, and the Question that has always moved me is: Why is Ralf Schumacher always only mediocre? It is beyond question for me that the shadow of Michael above him is enormous, that he never got out there and probably never will. He only came through his brother into the F1. Instead of being grateful, he has often been a bad loser and plays the offended liver sausage when it does not (again) run like this. I think such “half-blood” racers should my employee sees this completely differently, thinks Ralf has gone through a real development, is today more set than he did years ago. And he would have suffered very much from his manager Weber, who neglected him. I don’t know all these stories in detail, I also have the time and desire to read a R. Schumacher biography. For me, skill on the track shows up. Querelen or a pressing shoes off the slopes are only excuses in order to I would therefore be interested in the “expert opinion” here in the forum. I have often read critical voices about Ralf, but also about Michael here. And Ralf fans are also here. What can be said about his development and his driving skills?? Is he still a World Cup candidate for some? Greetings H.I.

Well, people what do you think? Who will do it in 2006? Honestly, I think Schumi will hit back. I’m sure. With the new quality system where the old problem of the Bridgestones will be fixed, and with the tyre changes during the race Ferrari will no longer have a problem. Wait, we will see another Schumi season next season… Alonso and Räikkönen will no longer be able to build on the performances of this year. And if so, then Alonso will be more than Raikkönen. Mc Laren will by leaving Newey have one more problem.

Moin, the Hockenheimring is in front of it!!! And who is to blame??? The formula 1. After the Hockenheimring had to be rebuilt and therefore the operating company had to be extremely indebted it now looks very gloomy. The revenues are not big enough to cover the entire expenses, moreover they have to give extremely much money to the F1. The spectators and thus the revenues remain away. The city as part owner of the operating company has no money to put it in. and the country wants to nciht, since they have already intervened. Privtae investors are nciht in sight, who invests already in something which is known to not running???? Only way out at the moment is probably the sale of some grandstands (e.g. Mercedes Tribune) to American companies and then read back, the well-known Lease-Back-verfahren, which are probably not astrein and shortly before the stand out. Over short or long stands each fals of the Hockenheimring before the financial collapse and then it is out of m it motorsport on the hockenheimring.
