Horner slams manufacturers
Horner said "Independent teams are the heart and soul of Formula One. They don't tend to come and go as manufacturers do "

It might not be perfectly true but I like the way he thinks. There is another racing series I can think of which would do well to consider the full context of Horner's thought, and how it might apply to them.

Actually they do.
List of Formula One constructors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That list doesn't even include the 1906 to WWII period.
Scroll down to also check the privateers.


A small clue, there wouldn't have been any sport without the car manufacturers.

Re: Horner slams manufacturers

I don't know Mr. Horner.
I prefer to see Ferrari vs Mercedes rather than Mr. Smith vs Mr. Jones.
