Ferrari: We want a different ending

It seems like a parody of "Ten Little Indians", the novel by Agatha Christie published for the first time in England way back in 1939, but the reality is decidedly more serious. Formula 1 continues to lose important players: in twelve months Honda, BMW, Bridgestone and Toyota have announced their withdrawal. In exchange, so to speak, came the Manor, the Lotus (the name, just that, because there isn't much else from the team of Colin Chapman, Jim Clark and Ayrton Senna, just to name a few.) , USF1 and Campos Meta. Are you saying it's the same thing, is it enough to have many people sitting at the table? Not much, and then we'll have to see if next year in Bahrain there will really be that many of us on the starting grid for the first race of the 2010 season and how many will arrive at the end of the year.

The reality is that this continuous drip of defections is the result more of a fight waged against the big car manufacturers by those who have managed Formula 1 in recent years than of the effects of the economic crisis.

In Christie's "mystery" the culprit is discovered only when all the characters are dead, one after the other. Do we want to wait for the same thing to happen or do we decide to write the Formula 1 book with a different ending?
