the FIA has finnaly released the bids tht were made for the teams for 2008. on the FIA's credibility rating, only Direxiv got a 5/5. closest was prodrive with 4/5. yet, Prodrive got the spot. why? Direxiv have been established in F1 long time (suppliers to Mc Laren since 1973) - prodrive has no single seater racing experience (all the BAR staff have moved on to other teams) - Direxiv has a confirmed engine supplier (Mercedes) - Prodrive doesnt. Is this the FIA's idea of making F1 more competitive?? truth be told, Team Direxiv would be like McLaren team 'B'. between choosing to see dave richards and a lot more of ron dennis, max mosley has chosen the lesser of two evils.
