Maybe a double-hybrid system that does nothing but make the cars larger, heavier and more expensive just so auto manufacturers can virtue signal about the enviroment was a "bad idea" in single seater racing. Car companies dominating the sport is the worst thing eccleston did during his tenure in charge. F1 was far more "F1" when teams like Lotus, Brabham and Arrows were in the sport, real racers, than a marketing wing of a mega corporation. Somehow its too expensive to ship refueling equipment to each race (that makes the cars smaller and lighter so they can fit on a track together), but a hospitality center that takes 8-12 semi trucks to transport so corporate guests can ignore the race in comfort is no problem for the sport to handle.

What the video didn't mention: Ferrari back in 2009 did everything they could to prevent the cost cap from taking effect, even got other then current teams onboard, and they got their way eventually. Hence if you ask me, this was the reason why there is a large gap between teams back in 2010. Had 2010 had a cost cap, things might have played out differently favoring the new teams. Cruel irony given Ferrari has agreed to cost capping from 2021 onwards.

In 1991 there were still multiple teams circulating that had budgets well under 10m. Not _good_ teams, mind, but nevertheless.

This is great info for newer fans. One thing that Liberty media did well was stabilize the grid. Williams, for a time, looked shaky but we have 10 set teams, and potentially 1 or 2 more coming soon. The sport, financially, is in a lot healthier shape than it was not long ago.

Sadly the other teams were more than happy to see Manor go as they would gain more revenue if there was less teams.

Some very interesting points made here and stuff I didn't even know about. Lotus or Caterham had a sensible budget and so did at the time Virgin. However Virgin pulled the plug quite quickly and I have often heard Tony Fernandes would wake up in the morning and feel and say that he wanted out of F1 and then the next day he he would say he was committed to the cause. HRT tried to do it right by working with Dallera but never really found suitable budgets to compete. Sad really, lets hope they let Andretti in because they do seem to have the budget and if they go about it the right way they can be competitive.

I feel like there needs to be a space in motorsport for teams of this scale to be able to setup and compete with their own design and built cars without being embarrassed by the established F1 teams. Imagine a series of around 12 races in Europe (maybe a couple in the Middle East) including tracks that have fallen from the F1 schedule (like Hockenheim, Nurburgring, Istanbul, etc...) with teams of a budget cap of around $25million to design and build their own chassis (with affordable spec engine and basic hybrid system). Likely the series would run in companion with other non-F1 series like DTM or ELMS. This "EuroGP" series could act as a development series for drivers (e.g. F1 reserve drivers and those stuck between F2 and F1), potential new teams that could ultimately prove themselves worthy of upscaling to F1, and an outlet for dropped circuits in European heartlands.

I think the idea could be alright, but, no one's gonna pay for it. Most of those tracks "forgotten" by F1 still have important junior series, local championships and even international races (mostly sportscars) going around so it's not like people forgot about them, and all of those drivers "stuck" between F2 and F1 have many options to go to if they're good enough, and the ones that don't, well, maybe they weren't good enough.

It’s a shame what happened to the three teams, but Manor in particularly is a sad story. Even without the tragedy of what happened to Jules, it honestly looked like things were starting to improve for them in 2016 with the most competitive car they had produced, and then all of a sudden it was gone

I like the idea of more technical freedom on a tighter budget... pit money vs ingenuity and see who wins is an interesting concept in it's own right.

I was always overly optimistic every time the team brought upgrades and then left with disappointment when they ended up in no man's land behind the midfield and in front of Virgin/Marussia and HRT. 2013 and 2014 were just so disappointing but I can't help but romanticise those days where I was obsessed with the underdogs (while besides Kovalainen, also being a big Hamilton and Heidfeld fan and a growing Hulkenberg and Kobayashi fan at the time).

This comment was actually a huge throwback to me. I remember that in Finland, news outlets and those "Pre-Season Magazines" were hardcore coping with how Lotus/Caterham was finally gonna get points that year and that Lotus/Caterham's package somehow looked stronger than previous year's. I even remember Heikki saying in an interview for one of those magazines that points and podiums could be possible in a few years if the car development advances as it does. Only for Caterham to never score points and Heikki losing his race seat :/ it is really unfortunate, as he apparently declined other race seats (presumably Sauber or Williams) for Lotus, because he believed in their project.

We still calling Peter Windsor a respected journalist? He spent years trying to tell people Rich Energy are the next big thing for F1 and looks like he is just making up gossip that planetf1 regurgitates.

Love to see a video on Stewart gp.

Manor looked like they could have been a midfield team by now if they could have survived. There was potential there.

Max Mosley initially wanted Cosworth to supply the whole grid with engines to keep costs down. Of course, neither Ferrari, Mercedes or Renault (or BMW then) would accept that even if they could take up the blueprints and make it themselves. One way to pressure them could have been to make Cosworth manditory for all other teams (imagine McLaren, Williams, Red Bull, Toro Rosso all using Cosworth along with Lotus, HRT and Manor) but would have actually helped bring costs down while Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault would havd gone up. Spending more doesn't help when your costs go up.

In hindsight, all three teams pooling their resources as one entry might have been an interesting experiment. Reduce competition among themselves and fight Sauber for the points.

That lotus name was so confusing

@LSchelvin71

Жыл бұрын

Yep 😂😂

They were setup to fail, mostly due to the existing big fish teams manipulating the rules in their own favor. The promised cost cap never materialized Cheaper Cosworth engines didn't get the development they needed And the teams needed to score points and finish in the top 10 to secure funding from F1's revenue, which meant that functionally only 1 of the 3 new teams would get any F1 prize money despite racing for the entire year. So the minnows had to rely entirely on sponsors and merch to survive, and given their low overall performance and high operating costs of F1 made this a nearly impossible task. So the minnow teams went into F1 which their legs cutout from underneath them and having to fight among each other for the scraps of 10th place in the championship Ultimately Jules Bianchi's results in Manor/Murussia were the only thing that kept the team afloat as long as they did. So why did Haas succeed while these 4 times collapsed? Haas ironically took the approach that HRT should have, leveraging Dallara to make their chassis in Italy proving that could work. Meanwhile beg/borrowing/stealing every part of the Ferrari car they could get their hands on to save on development costs. But the key factor for Haas was that with only 10 teams on the grid they would be guaranteed F1 prize money so long as they scored at least 1 point in the year. The only way F1 can sustain more than 10 teams moving forward is by agreeing to split the prize pool with the smaller teams and maintaining the cost cap. The recent arguments over Andretti kinda prove this point, as the bigger teams (mostly Toto and Mercedes) don't want to split the prize pool.

disgraceful that F1 can't be much cheaper and allow for 13+ teams with lower startup and operating costs

My understanding is that if Manor stayed around for '17, Nasr would have driven for them.

Its crasy how all these teams got betrayed by f1

1- FIA rules and rules mishaps (promising a cost cap that never came, forcing them to use Cosworth which ruled out structures such as Epsilon or Prodrive who were more than prepared for F1 while allowing other like Campos Meta or USF1 who were total lolcows) 2- Prize money not being enough for them to grow into the midfield 3- HRT: Total mess. When José Ramón Carabante bought the team from Adrián Campos to rename it Hispania, literally nothing was built: no facilities, no car, no drivers. They went truly against the clock to get to Bahrain, and even then they didn't get to drive the Dallara built chassis until FP3, without any preseason testing. And over the three seasons they raced, they were simply fighting to survive without any hope to even get into the midfield due to them never having money. And their drivers didn't help 4- Virgin: Lack of stability. They had an innovative approach that failed in 2010, and then Sir Richard Branson got tired and left. After that, even with competent personnel and solid drivers for the most part (Glock, Bianchi, Merhi, Wehrlein), they had to deal with a lot of crap until they simply just couldn't and were forced to close after finishing last in 2016. Could've been a good team if they had been given a better chance 4- Lotus/Caterham: lack of stability. They started pretty good, and looked like the one team that would stay in F1 for a long time; but once the team name was changed everything fell apart: couldn't even beat Marussia in 13 and 14, barely did so in 2012, and drivers were good for the most part but everything else wasn't. Just like Virgin, they could've been a good team if they had been giving a better chance Overall it was a mix of the FIA just putting teams on the grid to be bottom feeders and the teams themselves either not having enough money, not being well run or both. The good thing is that at least they learned from their mistake and when they opened bids again in the mid 2010s and most recently in the early 2020s they have not only made sure that the new teams have enough freedom and capital to be more than bottom feeders but also that they're solid structures who won't fold within a couple of years.

Manor will always be in my heart

may jules rest in paradise. much love

First factor was bootstrapping them to the Cozzies Second was the promise of cost caps and then it not happening Caterham individually failed because all the legal issues Tony Fernandes had along with his other interests(LOLQPRLOL) meant they were underfunded and ultimately weak HRT couldn't get sponsors to save their life, and trusting Colin fucking Kolles to run anything more than a bath is a bad idea. Manor had a brighter plan than the other 2, but IMO Jules' ultimately fatal injury knocked them completely out of momentum

current 10 teams with better sponsors and more engine choices would be nice

So we're now seeing what happened in 2010 basically, new teams are trying their best to get into F1 as it grows, FIA after some thinking agrees with the new teams, but already existing teams are blocking the ability for the new teams to join or compete.

Does Lotus use the chassis from 2009 toyota? both cars look very equal.

Can you do "where are the F1 drivers now? Like what's Yuji Ide doing now?

HRT never failed, they just gave other teams a small chance to shine.

2010 was my first year watching, that Lotus was the best looking car in the field that season, IMO. In terms of bodywork anyway.

Now you can't even add new team ...want so much money like robbing you first.

I love how they let a scam team join in 2010 but won’t let one of the most historic American teams in Andretti join now

Simple: If you don't have access to a huge budget and a wealthy owner with lots of patience don't even think about entering F1.

How much money would it have taken to keep Manor on the grid? Surely far less than the present price to buy/start an F1 team. Real missed opportunity.

F1 cartel ruined a chance for a new hope

I miss the true backmarkers

If points went down to 15th, these teams would at least having something to show for it

I miss manor

As d rules says if a new team wants to enter it has to pay $100 million but what if a team comes today in 2023 n says it bought HRT or Catherine or Manor Racing factory or its facilities does it still has to pay anything to enter or not ...

This is a good example of why more teams doesn’t automatically equal better for F1. These teams were pointless

maybe you should watch the video and learn why they werent given a chance

Felipe Nasr destroyed Manor and ironically his career by finishing 9th at the 2016 Brazilian GP. Until that time, Sauber has never scored point, behind Manor.

The real reason is that none of the new teams was the mighty Stefan GP. Folks are just afraid to admit it!

have you ever thought... had sauber finished last in f1 2016 would manor still existed today??

Let's get Cadillac on the grid please

HAAS opposed Andretti, and is the Marussia of the era

That's a ludicrous statement. To put haas on the level of marrisua is laughable. If andretti were to join F1, they would struggle to replicate the success Haas jave had.

F1 & FIA promised the new teams certain things. Then pulled the UNO reverse card on them and left them hanging. No fair at all to the teams.

All teams failed? What about Mercedes that re-entered in 2010? And yes you have to count that, as you also counted the re-entering of Lotus.

This is where things get confusing. There was Team Lotus. They were owned by the car company. They have been out of Formula One for a LONG time. Like you mentioned, there was a Lotus F1 team that was actually just owned by a company that owned the Lotus naming rights. That team is now the Renault/Alpine team when they took a hiatus. They had Kimi and also Grosjean who both had podiums for the team. Then there was Caterham who was just sponsored by Lotus in 2010. That's this team. That relationship was a disaster and ended up in numerous lawsuits.
