1Malaysia F1 Team

This HAD BETTER BE A JOKE!!! but sadly, it isn't. yup, Malaysia will be creating their own F1 team to take the fight against the world.(ha di ha ha)

The reasons: same as the usual ones, promoting bla bla bla and those kind of stuffs( heard till sien, pls be creative next time. heard this kind of things since i wan born.....)

the team to be created is estimated to cost not less than 1 billion ringgit. yes, billion, with a b in it. 9 zeros behind it. thats a hell lot of money. (source form hereL http://www.thesundaily.com/article.cfm?id=38128)
however, PM stressed that the project would not be a waste of money as it would boost the country’s image internationally and be a marketing platform for Malaysia, Proton, Lotus, AirAsia and Naza.
yeah , thats right. 1 billion ringgit into some sport that is currently hit by the economic downturn is NOT a waste of money.and of course, the country's image can be boosted through failures and whatever things came up. we do not want our country to be known worldwide because of our failures right? we want to Win. but of course, that is quite unlikely. the chances of them winning is like burnley winning EPL.(virtually zero, but if you count the probability, there is still 0.000002, which have less zeros in it than the cost incured)

Please la, what are the financial planners up there are thinking. this 1 billion ringgit can be used anywhere except on F1, you can eradicate hardcore poverty, help out the poor and needy, giving more scholarships to potential students and stuffs like that, but instead you poured this bucketfull of cash into something you didn;t even have the experience. what are the chances that it wont end up in a financial scandal like the port klang thingy? the 1 billion budget cost may skyrocket the next day to 5 maybe 10 billion and god knows how much due to some actions which will not be discussed here.

this is an absolutely waste of money i tell you, using 1 billion to buy us a not so good image in front of the whole world. but it's kinda of good, we use 1 billion to make 6 billion people worldwide laugh. quite a good bargain also eh?

how can we expect our team to fight with names like ferarri and mercedez? they have already established names and reputations as well as performance to match their reputations over the years. they have experience, the have the brains and what do we have? a bunch of pit crews who dont even have experience in dealing with this kind of situation? this is F1 we are talking of, not some mundane go-kart competition.
at least use some experts from other countries during the first few years, let our newbies learn from them like what honda did with BAR. and see what they have done. at least not eating dust at the end of the pack.

i know about Brawn, they are newcomers and they are leading the championship, but they have the technicals, the drivers and all their everything are passed from Honda so they are not actually new in this field.

give up this dream if you still can. dont be the laughing stock for the world next year.
