Supposition is common surrounding the 2009 Formula One season. With the most important series of rule book shake ups in twenty-five years, the title is anyone’s to take where sports gamblers are concerned. There is nevertheless one team who have been able to make a stir. Step forward Muscle GP, previously Honda F1. The team was not that successful and they’d a falling out in 2005 but BMW purchased Sauber and therefore the BMW Sauber F1 team formed. The 60th FIA Formula One World Championship season will see a total of ten groups competing in this year’s respected racing event, prepared to happen over seventeen rounds.

Formula One has just lately had 1 or 2 rule changes that makers don’t like like aerodynamic limitations and funding restrictions. Ferrari has been with the game of F1 for over sixty sequential years, you know there’s a problem if they’re pulling out. As of now, BMW, Mercedes, Renalt, Ferrari and Toyota supply engines but BMW is pulling out after the 2009 season and Ferrari doesn’t know if they’ll continue when their contract is up in 2012. Given the capability of the controlling powers in Formula One to market madly, do not be stunned if it ultimately occurs. Also, the price of basing a team in North Carolina when there aren’t any races in North America certain raises issues on what proportion of the budget will be spent on transport. The kick off date is not really a very good one given the economy. All that having been said, Windsor is probably not going to be letting his name be connected with a hoax or something that isn’t far along in the midst of becoming a fact. The wierd thing? Ferrari is an affiliate and Luca di Montezemolo, Ferrari ‘ President, is the also leading the FOTA. Therefore what does this mean? Have the groups eventually unified? Are they serious about getting extra money from the game based totally on a real challenge to leave? Is Ferrari actually content to go to that length? Montezemolo and Ecclestone have bickered in the press, but have also gone skiing together. Ferrari and McLaren even seem to have made peace as an element of the FOTA unity effort.

Now, the twenty-five point loss is important and especially so when a team gets off to a particularly slow start like Ferrari and McLaren did in 2009. If you didn’t finish a race in the 2009 season, the most points you might lose would be ten. If this scoring system had been in place in 2009, Jenson Button would’ve had something similar to 150 points by the end of the 5th race with no-one truly inside a hundred points! Whether or not it does not, F1 should be congratulated for trying different things.
