Wonder when that piece of news will be confirmed.  Off to London later to see the ol' duchess and the folks for a few days.  By the time Bess and I get there this should have been sorted out.  Cheerio chaps. _________________ Politicians.  Would a career specialist by any other name carry such a putrid stench?

Will they leave immediately, will they leave after 2010, will they stay as an engine supplier? I believe Red Bull have confirmed an extension of their engine contract with Renault as a deal couldn't be agreed with Mercedes. I hate all this rumour crap as I just spend all day surfing the net trying to find out what's going on. I reckon they are going to announce their departure end of 2010 and remain as an engine supplier. _________________ Mummy, Daddy, Sissy, Sassy Baby.

Maybe they'll remain as an engine supplier, assuming the Cosworth doesn't blow it into the weeds next year. Looks like F1 will further contract into M-B (via McLaren and Brawn) vs Ferrari. _________________ It's a '57 Pontiac Star Chief, dontchaknow.

Presumably he'll be left with the crumbs sandwiched between Kubica and Grosjean. I hope he doesn't make a bloomer. Back to top BeN The Motor, Singapore branch. My Car: Toyota Corolla View My Motor: .

Magic!   I'd like to see Prodrive get in as they are a decent outfit. _________________ http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm...ds.individual&VideoID=2869045 Back to top Humphrey The Pug Supercharged My Car: Megane ST 1.5 dCi 106 Joined: 31 Dec 2006 Posts: 5579 Location: usually Guildford or Weybridge Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 1:43 pm    Post subject: Big Blue wrote: Mark wrote: Humphrey The Pug wrote: http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/200...f1-deal-with-prodrive-under-study / Oh dear.

I actually got the link from somewhere else, of couurse I read it but I didn't go to James Allan's website to find it, if you know what I mean. _________________ Mummy, Daddy, Sissy, Sassy Baby.
