SHUTTING OUT NEWCOMERS COMPLETELY? Opinions on the Concorde Agreement Rumours

  • Time to humour some rumours. I like doing these because often there's some absolute tat posted online by someone looking for clout that then gets some traction. This one, however, hasn't.
    But I thought I'd look into it anyway because it's tying in to Andretti going for Formula 2, building a base at Silverstone, only for Formula One to potentially shut them out completely, all because they want to protect the money given to the teams.
    So what's been rumoured then? Let's have a look.

      They can use it as a tease, the way the NFL didn't have a team in Los Angeles for over 20 years. They used the threat of moving an existing franchise to LA to extort new stadiums and tax breaks from cities that didn't want to see their teams move. In F1, the top teams can bully the lesser ones into doing their bidding by the threat of expanding to fill those two open slots on the grid, thus cutting the lower level team's cut of the money pie.

    Surely this only works while F1 is in its boom period? As in, it's entirely reliant on the idea that if one of the ten 'franchise' teams go to the wall, there'll be someone else along to pick up the pieces. In the past teams have gone bust and nobody has wanted to buy them - Arrows, Prost, Super Aguri, all three of the new 2010 teams. Because if F1's value goes down and newcomers suddenly aren't interested in buying in any more, you can quickly end up with 14 or 16 cars in each race. If you let eleven, twelve, thirteen teams in before you lock the whole thing down, you can afford to lose a couple in a way you really can't otherwise.

    Hi folks, American here with expertise on the American franchise model: The last team to fold in the major four leagues was the Cleveland Barons after the 1977-78 season, hilariously they were once an Oakland based team as well. Major League Soccer saw Chivas USA fold after 2014, but in a real gamer move, their franchise operator rights were actually sold off so the new Los Angeles FC team is *technically* a phoenix team.

      The Cleveland Barons folding history is a bit muddy as they 'meged' with the Minnesota North Stars (which also had it's own financial issues back then) after the end of the 1977-78 season with the North Stars taking the Baron's place in the Adams division. The San Jose Sharks could be considered as a spiritual successor to the Oakland/Bay Area/California (Golden) Seals-Cleveland Barons as the Gund brothers (former owners of the Barons and later minority owners of the North Stars post-merger) were given a 'breakaway' franchise since the league didn't allow them to move the North Stars to the Bay Area (which would be a lie anyway as the North Stars moved to Dallas in 1993)

    A more serious post now - I don't like the way F1 is headed and I loathe Ben Sulayem but I have to agree with him in this particular instance - more teams equals more chances for drivers to show their worth. As it stands, making F1 like American sports where everything is franchised just devalues the whole thing. It confirms everything that we already know F1 has become - a soulless cash grab which it might always have been but never this blatant. But I've been through all this before.

    Here's an idea... If more teams join the grid, then why don't you, say, increase the prize pot to compensate? I mean, isn't that what the massive buy-in clause was meant to be for, to pay to the other teams to cover for the reduction in the prize pool? So why not just, make it permanent?
    You get the team themselves to pay for it year one, discouraging those who aren't serious, and then with the extra money/value theoretically being brought into the sport, your costs are covered, no? And surely, the extra money needed isn't 'that' much more? It's not like everyone's entire budget is covered by the prize money, just sell race rights to another middle-eastern country for a decade and you're sorted. Capped at 12 teams and you've got nothing to worry about.
    Sure, it might cut into profits for a few years, but it'll increase the value of the sport overall, and that's the goal isn't it, because the entire reason you own commercial rights to something like F1 is because you intend to sell it to someone else one day and get your massive profit then! I mean, there's plenty of trillionaires in the world who'd love to buy it (and then increase it's value again to sell to the quintillionaires that must exist surely, because business works like this apparently)

The fact that teams don't like that rule doesn't mean the should be able to make up their own and then complain about new teams trying to get into the sport. It's ridiculous the teams got this much power over time.
    To me this whole thing feels like when in football the teams would decide that 9 players per team is enough or the amount of teams in a league should be less and then FIFA just letting them make such changes instead of enforcing the rules as they are. I bet in the world of football everyone would go nuts if that happened.

    One thing to remember about the money the teams win vs the cost cap, the driver salaries are not part of the budget cap. So any extra money that Red Bull or Ferrari makes goes towards driver salaries but also to either team owners or share holders. This is why Ferrari has been able to offer Hamilton the big bucks to join them next year, and why Verstappens salary pretty much goes up every year.
    I don't think it is right that they are blocking entries, but it's not really a case of "you win more money than the budget cap, you have extra money you don't need".
    Simple facts are these. The current agreement allows for two more teams so as Karun Chandhok rightly said, the current prize pot is supposed to be distributed between 12 teams, so the 10 current teams are actually getting more than they should. Now if the current teams are indeed the ones manipulating FOM/Liberty to turn teams down, there are two options here. You either tell the teams to go fuck themselves and enforce the concorde agreement word for word, or you raise the prize pot to appease them.
    At the end of the day though, if the teams like Haas, Williams & Sauber (well prior to the Audi takeover) want more money, they have to improve their performance. If it is true that Gene Haas is not giving the F1 team the resources it needs, that is on him, not on any new team. He will still get a tiny share of the pot that he then refuses to use to improve the team. Williams/Dorilton obviously have no idea how to use the finances they have after the whole one chassis short debacle.

Redbull could afford to run with no signage if they chose to. For the team down in 9th or 10th, Andretti coming in reduces the payment they receive further. They struggle to get $120m in sponsorship in the first place and any money from point scoring being watered down by having another team in the mix hurts them terribly.
