Toro Rosso's Italian Grand Prix win has ignited the customer car debate. Undeniably it was a dream story for Formula One but, for some, it was a bit of a nightmare.
Back in 2006 FIA president Max Mosley shocked the paddock with his proposal to allow customer cars in 2008. We were going to have them. Then, according to Bernie Ecclestone at the Brazilian GP last year, we weren't. David Richards's plan to run Prodrive McLarens came to nought. Super Aguri has gone away but still we have Toro Rosso.
