1+1=...
Here’s a little theory. GP2 Asia seems to have been rather hurriedly put together. 4 days of testing and the race within a week kind of gives that impression.
Then Ferrari’s Sporting Director was seen at Silverstone at the first A1 test, McLaren are hit with a huge fine to appease Ferrari and Texeira mentioned in his Autosport interview they had some truly astounding news to break to the motorsport world.
Ok, this is purely my 1+1 = 987,000 view on things, but what if:
* Ferrari and A1GP have struck an agreement from 2008/09 season onwards to supply engine/chassis.
* Bernie, Flavio and Bruno get wind of this development and hurriedly assemble GP2 Asia to counteract A1 and get the series established before the new Ferrari A1GP cars get underway.
* To keep Ferrari onside, their appeal is successful and McLaren are punished severely.
Or…it’s all a coincidence.
