| Exclusive: iSport plans F1 entry |
But the precondition for any Formula One entry has to be a ceiling on team budgets imposed by the FIA. The earlier this precise amount is decreed - preferably within the next month - the sooner Jackson and his team can get together with sponsors and investors to decide whether they will be competing in 2010 as a separate outfit or be joining forces with one of the others already on the grid such as Toro Rosso.
“The existing teams aren’t structured to operate within a 30-million budget,” stresses Jackson in his interview with Motorsports-Magazine.com. “So it would probably be better to start with a blank sheet.” The basis of any new team would be the GP2 engineers. “We’re accustomed to doing a great job on limited resources,” he says.
Jackson would like to trim costs by imposing an upper salary limit of £100,000 - a figure that would also apply to himself. “It should be the desire for success that brings people into Formula One; if it’s big money you’re after, then you should be looking somewhere else.” No decision has yet been reached on how the cars will be powered. Both the homologated engine and a moderately priced customer engine from a major manufacturer come into the frame. As regards drivers, Jackson would like to use his former GP2 protégé Bruno Senna: “That would be fantastic. I’m convinced that he belongs in Formula One.”
