Default Renault Joins F1 Leave Threat

Renault are also set to follow ferrari toyota and red bull saying they are going to leave, dont you think that f1 is starting to fall apart. Without the big names it will just not be the same.

the beudget cap is not going to work as how do they know how much they've spent?

it's not like they are going to go through the books, especially if it costs them Ł30mill to actually sign up to race, who's going to spend Ł10mill on designing a car and paying their staff etc?

they'll be no money let to race

IMHO - Bernie Ecclestone is the main problem.

he is way too powerful in F1 and should not be able to dictate - I am glad the teams are telling him to stuff it.

F1 will continue - but hopefully he will get out, and a more co-operative system will prevail.
