Totally agree. If the sport doesn't attract at least some new teams eventually I think people will get bored of the same teams dominating the grid. However, I do think they could have phased it in over 2 or 3 years though so I have some sympathy with Briatore saying "We want to achieve this in a co-ordinated manner with the regulatory and commercial bodies". On t'other hand his next sentence "...and we refuse to accept unilateral governance handed out by the FIA." is a bit weird given that the FIA are the governing body. It all sounds a bit like dummy chucking to me ie, if I can't play by my rules I'm taking my ball home.

If it is one big game of Call My Bluff will Frank Muir be driving the No2 Ferrari next year (he probably has more motivation than Kimi even though he's been dead for umpteen years!)
