Переход гонок гран-при на формулу №2 в 1952 году
Сергей Мингазов:
--- Цитировать ---What it all boils down to is that the Constnictors' Association are asking for a 100% increase of the total starting-money and prizemoney for each World Championship Grand Prix, and say that if it is not guaranteed they will take over the running of the World Championship. This demand and statement came from the Constructors' Finance Committee, which is comprised of Max Mosley (March), Phil Kerr (McLaren) and Bernard Ecclestone (Brabham). The reply came from Henri Treu, Executive Director of the Organisers' Grand Prix International, with the offer of a 12½% increase, a deadline date for acceptance and the suggestion that if there was any more argy-bargy the World Championship series would be run to some other category than Formula One. As all the organisers of the 1973 series, and the circuit owners, are in the GPI, one wonders where the F1 Constructors are going to hold their World Championship series. Presumably the British Grand Prix would be held at Lydden Hill, the Italian Grand Prix at Vallelunga, the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours, the German Grand Prix at the Norisring, the South African Grand Prix at Cape Town and the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa! The GPI threat was much more serious, because they were unanimous and if the CSI agreed, the World Championship could be run to Formula Two or Group 7 sports cars, or even Group 2 saloons. We must not forget that in 1951 Grand Prix racing to Formula One came to a grinding halt when Alfa Romeo withdrew, Maserati had died and BRM were not ready, leaving only the Ferrari team. Almost overnight the race organisers and the CSI decided to run the World Championship to the then existent Formula Two, which was flourishing, and Formula One was not reinstated until 1954. — D. S.
