El Supremo Slaps Ford

And rightly so. According to Bernie Eccelstone, if you want to play with the big boys, you need to spend like the big boys. I too, have no idea what Ford’s business plan is or was when they bought out Sir Jackie’s team and entered F1.
Fords budget of 160 million is a mere shadow of Ferrari’s or McLaren’s 400 million dollar budget. As for GM entering the F1 fray, forget about it. Unfortunately, Ford or GM make no sales gains from international racing. Ford’s idea of racing under the Jaguar brand was the right approach, but with an ineffective budget, what’s the point?
