To adapt these changes could be a big challenge for them. Even though, one of the goal why set these changes was to out some of teams. However, if the challenge is too difficult, only three or four team survive after these changes. The F1 Championship will its value, and the reducing competition will slow the improvement of these survive teams. Things will go to another direction if they start aligning with other teams. Lotus F1 can align with Red Bull and other teams. They can share some foundation development for these disruptive changes. Through that, from one side, each team can save money on developing products and adapting new rules. From another side, they can keep the advantage development, which is the key that they win the
Some say that automotive racing began when the second car was built. For over a hundred years, competition has driven innovation in the car industry, thus the industry maxim “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.” NASCAR and drag racing contributed greatly to muscle cars’ success. Muscle cars were born from these competitions as factory made race cars. Because of this, the muscle car quickly moved from a low quantity specialty item to the image of the American automotive scene. Each brand had to have one and each one needed better performance and personality than the next. The Golden Age began in the 1960s with the introduction of more performance models such as the Chevy SS Impala and the Ford Galaxy Starliner (Auto Editors).

GM had experienced a level of success that developed a reputation as the world’s preeminent producer of automotive products. Because of its success, which produced substantial fiscal resources, the company was awash in cash flow, cash reserve, and lines of credit. GM’s management was the victim of 50 years of industry success. Management was characterized by a bloated, bureaucratic structure that impeded any attempt to improve the corporation. Top management established a fixed objective in the closed decision-making process towards GM’s strategic objectives. There was little to create a realistic Gap analysis, which made is easy to overlook the need to reinvent its management before undertaking the reinvention of the entire corporation.

Other points of interest are the pit stops and the strategies that the various teams use in order to make a fast pit stop.
