The whole way money is distributed in Formula 1 is fucked. Lotus are losing so much per year that it's ultimately unsustainable. I read that if Lotus do manage to finish second this year they'd get £10,000,000 less than if Ferrari were to finish there, due to the way certain teams are preferred.
Joe Saward posted on his blog last week that two teams are close to being wound up due to unpaid bills. Force India and Sauber still owe suppliers and Hulkenberg money.
The solution proposed by the big teams is to sell customer chassis (thus generating more cash for themselves), but this is opposed by Williams. I hope we don't end up with the 3 cars for Ferrari, Red Bull that was discussed a while back. It's all fucked.
Anyway, USA GP was great last year, roll on the weekend.
