I woudl hate to see Ferrari leave simply because they are the only team that has been so consistant in pace and winning ways for so long. Even when the team was at it's worst they were finishing in 2nd and 3rd in the constructors championship. That is a hell fo a record to maintain for nearly 6 decades. I just can't imagine an F1 field without that glorious prancing horse chasing the win.

I do agree that bringing back closed cockpits will bring back some names. Ill be honest, I would also liek to see Toyota come back or Nissan, and see if tey can finally win it after all they both supposidly spent over a couple BILLION dollars when they were racing through the 80's and 90's, and never capture the greatest race in the world. I would like to see Ferrari duke it out. And i will say that F1 would be direly bland if Ferrari left.
and they are the only consistent company to stay in F1. they've always been inhouse with their products, never needing an outside source. Its funny how back in the late 80's Mercedes was working with Sauber, and in the early 90's BMW was workign with McLaren. ( im speaking of Group C and the GT1 catagory) and now today in F1 its Sauber BMW and Mercedes McLaren lol.
