Surely FOTA would welcome Williams, Force India etc with open arms? I guess without the 8 teams in FOTA, an F1 grid space is worth nine tenths of fek all so any hand-cuff clauses they have with Bernie would be cheeper to pay off than to stick arround?
Especialy as I cant see a series that small beign viable, unless they just re-badge one of the lower formula’s as F1? Which would make some interesting viewing, loads of teams, very little cash, the F1 rulebook, and ‘over enthusiastic’ youngsters behind the wheels!!
