Even more F1 implosion:

Everyone knew Ferrari got special treatment, but I never would have guessed they were literally getting paid to play. Nothing like an $80M bonus to the dominant team to make everyone else just walk away from the sport. Money like that in motorsports is the equivalent of giving the Yankees 4 outs every inning while all the rest of the teams get 3.

I wouldn't be surprised to see F1 dissolved before the 2010 season. What's the point for anyone to compete?
