John Watson Says Formula One Teams Need To Pull Together To Save Sport

F1 commentator and former driver John Watson said that F1 teams need to pull together for the good of the sport as it can not survive with "just four big teams," according to William Esler of SKY SPORTS. Marussia "returned to the grid in the guise of Manor, but there are still concerns of their long-term future, while Force India, Lotus and Sauber are also reported to be struggling." Watson said, "F1 needs to get out of the hole it’s in but the trouble is the teams are all playing political games. To get teams to agree to anything they all want something back. ... Formula 1 has a major problem but the sport is putting its head in the sand" (SKY NEWS, 3/25).
