Quiet One 15 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 As usual, treating a single sympton does not mean you found a cure. And most probably you are only ,aking things worse. They thought that lowering the budget would automatically bring back the Brabhams, Tyrrells and Ligiers back. Instead, they attracted some obscure groups of lawyers and accountants which seem to live in the same condo: 15, Cayman Street, Cayman City, Cayman Islands. It is great to see the Toyota, the Honduhs and all manufacturers (except Renault!) leave. But at least they should have studied what did they need to bring back passionate F1 teams (backed by accountants for the mob) instead of just the accountants for the mob.

I can't believe Max and Bernie ever thought it was going to last with such strong manufacturer presence. Things go in cycles (esp. Mark Webber ) - I think we should have a sweepstake on when Honda and BMW will re-enter F1.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schumikonen 2 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Source Lauda said he doesn't believe MSC will be back in F1 and just because of that I am starting to believe that he will be back, I was waiting for his comment about it and now it looks almost certain that MSC will be racing in 2010.

yurp 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 more pointless arguments coming about 14th team (pointless because they could save their time, effort and money if they just wait for USF1 to drop out). good that Sauber's got a chance to be involved in 2010 though - he's one of the few long-term, highly-respected men in the paddock.

lewisthegreat2 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Told you guys they'll use Fezza engines & possibly badged as Petronas! Wouldn't trust American money: "please welcome another barnd new F1 team, Burger King Sauber Racing" Everyone knew they were Ferrari, Daniel; Theissen announced it months ago. They won't be badged as Petronas because their partnership with Petronas is likely over. at BK Sauber...though in all seriousness, most teams have a US American sponsor (at&t at Williams, Acer at Ferrari, Hilton and FedEx at McLaren, etc), and American company JP Morgan owns 25% of the group that owns FOM which owns the commercial rights to F1, and JP Morgan is basically owned by the US government, so... I doubt the American investment is from anyone the average person has heard of anyway. It's probably a generic-brand rich person who will dump their money and make an occasional appearance at a race. Or maybe it's Flavio Briatore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you know, Team US F1 did contact Disney about sponsoring them. They didn't exactly get the response they had hoped for.

Getting boring now after almost 40 years....
