Formula One: If you buy Honda? NASCAR: GEM / Petty merger?

The completely unexpected departure of Honda has set in motion very much. The "warning shot" (Mosley) is obviously taken seriously and efforts are everywhere of the series addressing the problems. The only problem is that it is nothing to change in 2009.

A well-informed colleague mailed me yesterday that FOTA has probably passed a comprehensive test ban for the current season 2009 (does not apply to the winter testing). That was so on the fly, the only thing you can do to reduce the cost 2009th You could move the introduction of KERS, but on the one hand, BMW continues to defend well with everything you have, the other one has anyway already sunk millions into the project. The situation is serious, see the FOTA. It is calculated with two teams whose future is on the brink. Meanwhile, it looks in NASCAR is not better. As it stands, Richard Petty will throw in the towel and close down the oldest team in NASCAR.
