Gary Anderson: Is a Formula 1 breakaway the answer?
AUTOSPORT's technical expert GARY ANDERSON discusses whether the F1 teams should form their own series, delves into the secrets of brakes and reveals which driver he once grabbed firmly by the throat
Instead of constantly search for new cost-cutting ideas, why do F1 teams not consider a breakaway series again? Would getting rid of CVC and Bernie Ecclestone not make the sport sustain itself and pay for cutting-edge innovation, attract more modern media exposure and allow for a better (from a fan's perspective) calendar?
