I love that he says that they didn't pass qualification because of financial problems.. lol, they were THERE at the weekend, it's not a money problem when you are too retarded and half arsed to do a shakedown before the weekend, or even before qualifying for that matter. It's bullshit ,they need to sort themselves out big time and stop using F1 as an amateur circus.
Although as someone else pointed out before, it's funny that Virgin in comparisson have a **** tonne of money. I find it funny how now Marussia owns most of the team now, seems that Richard Branson thought success would come instantly in one season and now is having to rethink his buisness model.... ass hole.
I can't wait for when teams like Red Bull and Virgin don't exist (especially Virgin) Teams based purely to make money FROM racing, aren't fit for the sport, those teams who race to make money so that they can go racing again (racing for the sake of racing), those are the teams that we want to see.
I suppose the only difference with Mateschitz is he does genuinely LIKE racing, and he uses the money from Red Bull to fund the team (initially anyway) and then uses the cars as a sponsorship platform for his company anyway.
