Formula 1 Teams Should Have Their Own Engines
Where Do You Live?
Few weeks ago Formula 1 season started and its look fantastic even after just few races. This season there are about 5 to 6 drivers who have the potential to win the championship - Hamilton, Button, Alona, Vettle, Schumacher and even Kubica has a chance to surprise everyone, he has been driving very well. It will just make the whole season exciting just like the football this season in England, Italy and Spain. The new teams and cars are going to make it exciting this year.
There are exciting thinds to look at but there is also a downside into this as there are 12 teams but only 4 engines, which means teams are sharing engines. I have always believed that teams should have their own engine if they are participating in a competition. Here is how the teams differ this year, Costworth engine are used by 8 cars, Ferrari and Mercedes engine are used by 6 cars and Renault engine by 4 cars, so if you look at it this way there are only 4 teams participating in my opinion.
The idea is to definitely introduce more car companies, who produces their own engine such as Toyota. There are always rooms for new Audi vehicles. Car companies such as Ford and Volkwagen would certainly be a good addition to F1. It might expensive but they will receive far better publicity and to be honest I am sure Audi, Ford and Volkswagen can afford it. FIA should also make an effort to approach these companies just so that formula 1 gets exciting and will definitely last a very long time. Just imagine how it will be like if the teams have their own engine and to see the above car companies participating.
If they can build cars like Audi R8, Audi Q5, Audi A4 Saloon, Ford GT, Bugatti Veyron (owned by Volkswagen) and others they can surely afford to build a Formula 1 car. Tell me what your thoughts are? Do you think these teams should make an effort to join F1? Do you agree with my suggestion of the teams having their own engine? I look forward to your replies.
