Paddle pop, wow. Paddle pop, yay!
Ok. This is old news.
But I'd like to make a point here - F1 is a luxury sport, everyone knows that.
You'll need to invest more, to outperform others.
And sometimes, even if you invest a lot doesn't mean it'll end with good outcome (take Toyota F1 for example - invested a lot but still not the top team, yet)
So how could, 1Malaysia F1, achieve good results with no experience in F1 development (ok, they have, by getting the old & outdated Lotus team's technology) achieve good result in another half year? (that's when season 2010 will start)
So why put the name 1Malaysia? Most likely it will get the very poor positions in its first season - is it gonna put bad image on the '1Malaysia' name?
While I'm not criticising the car's choice of colour (it looks like Wall's Paddle Pop, to be honest) I'm even interested to know why 1Malaysia can't purchase an existing team (such as BMW, which Petronas is one of the sponsor, and they are leaving by the end of this year) - instead, putting in more money to build from scratch?
For budget of hundreds of millions (F1's budget cap is £40 million), can't Malaysia put those money into better investment such as infrastructure upgrade in the country, to help to achieve Vision 2020?
1Malaysia F1 won't help us achieving that vision, at least we know that.
