Unsubstantiated Rumour Alert ;) ; Regarding the Williams equity sale, an article on the James Allen blog suggests that Audi might be behind the illustrious Mr Wolff in some form or other and in few years or so we might see a return to the distant past of F1 with "Silver Arrows" of Brawn Mercedes and the "Auto Unions" of Williams Audi.

A good story in a quiet period or a genuine move to get a VW brand on the grid ? Any thoughts?

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I think if this is true, it could potentially make Williams a "seriously" competing team. Next season, is going to so exciting. I can't wait!

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

can't see much in the VW \ Audi link. They have openly been asked to enter F1 several times and have always declined to enter. They are happy with the Le Mans programme as that highlights the diesel engine plus the DTM and F3 programmes they have too.

Gillett still wont give up on Donnington !

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80330

I don't know if he really thinks it can work or is trying, for some reason, to undermine Silverstone. :confused:

I would love to have the British GP rotate between Brands, Donnigton and Silverstone. I have been lucky enough to see F1 at all three circuits and they all have their merits. Trouble is the massive demands Bernie makes in terms of facilities and infrastructure makes it REALLY difficult for one circuit to carry the cost and remain a viable business, let alone three with fewer races to recoup their investment. Its not going to happen is it....

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

A solution to this could be the "motor-home" approach. With a touring hospitality centre that can be dismantled and re-erected at each venue.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I wish they would just go away and let Silverstone take the deal to give us a British GP.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Brand Hatch cannot do a GP as the pit lane is far to small, and there is no way you could cram all the teams there. (I've driven on it in a single seater).

If Donnington cannot get funds, I doubt that BH will either.

Personally I feel that the posion dwarf dosen't want it a Silverstone as the facilities for the "money men2 aren't up to his demands. So he is using this BS to get rid of the British GP, if there is no British GP next year I doubt I'll bother watching it. :(

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I must admit I do wonder why F1 teams NEED to take SOOO much stuff with them. I mean in '86 there were 22 starters for the last GP at Brands, and they squeezed everyone into the old Donington pitlane in 93. Why do they need the space now? S

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

the space is needed for all the hospitality which Bernie charges a fortune for and makes a lot of money out of.

Years ago Bernie fell out with the BRDC who run Silverstone hence he always has a go at them. As Brasil is run by his mate that circuit is falling apart and has even worse facilities but that isn't a problem

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Thats good news. I have had a healthy respect for Peter Sauber since his success in the Group C era.

Toyota and FiA need to get their acts together and grant Sauber a grid slot. Campos & Manor seem to have all the right bits in place whilst Lotus and USGP are making all the right noises. I don't think anyone should assume one of the new teams will fail.

They can then sort out an engine and get cracking. Good luck to them.:)

I must say that it was refreshing to see a team with the name of Sauber actually vying for and achieving second place in the constructors' championship, as they did in 2007 and third place in 2008. But I doubt they ever had the legs to come first. They have, after all only ever won one Grand Prix.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I won't believe it until the board finally makes up it's mind. I'm getting disappointed that companies won't commit and keep bailing out. Renault are an engine supplier, they have that commitment to potential championship contenders Red Bull for next year. They'd do well to sell their team to somebody who can make something good with it like Dave Richards tried to do way back when. Call it Benetton again, I dunno.........

the way Renault are at the moment I don't care if they go. it seems after this meeting the result will go to the board.

Not sure if they will stay as an engine supplier though which might be the best way forward.

At least Dave Richards wants to be in F1 and wants to bring the Gulf colours with him too

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Actually he's be with the Citroen 'Junior' team, no way would they let him on one of the main cars.. My partners been peeing themselves laughing at this as the 'junior' team are normally the noobs. My partner btw is an ex WRC Tech for prodrive (Markko Martin) and MLP (Richard Burns (RIP))

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Citroen have a long and successful pedigree at WRC. I am sure he has made the right choice.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Maybe the "junior" team gets second pick when it comes to the new parts but I bet there is not much between the main works cars and the "junior" team. I bet they will never say what the difference in spec is.

Do you class the Stobart Fords as Junior team? Just curious....

At least commonsense seems to have prevailed in the end and a British Grand Prix is guaranteed for the foreseeable future. That can only be good news.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Junior WRC is a whole different class to the Class N cars, they're normally a smaller engine and don't have the driver assists of the full cars so atm you won't see Kimi racing against the main WRC stars ;)

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Must admit I understood that Kimi was in a full WRC class "B team" not a junior team in a different class as you describe. AFAIK the Stobart Fords for example are pretty much full spec Focus WRC cars run by the factory :).

As this is an F1 thread we are running the off topic risk.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

As it's quiet I don't think others will mind..

You're quite right looking at the official citroen pages they're running 4 cars (two teams ) this year. It's the bbc news fault as they specified he'd be in the junior team which I took as the class :rolleyes:

glad the team is still there just wonder who the owner is going to be. Hope Richards gets the deal done but the BBC say it isn't certain if Kubica will still be the driver,although I can't see any other better drivers on the market

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

He wasn't allowed his Gold, silver, Bronze points last year so this now is basically the same thing which give the person who wins the most races a better chance of winningthe championship..

I'm just worried that if we get the same as this year with one driver dominating for the start of the season it'll mean the others will give in even earlier and concentrate on the 2011 cars

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

It's going to be fun listening to the commentators as they try to work out the standings during the race :)

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

If this points system was in place last year then Jenson would have won the championship much sooner.

I think a 5point gap is too much

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Nah it's all automatic these days, they'll have a screen during the race which will give them drivers and construction championship positions if the race finished on current positions

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Well, looks like it wont make a difference on the season as a whole :confused:....

Autosport has looked at recent championships and you have to back to Irvine Hakkinen to get a change in championship order, even then that would have been reversed with the 09 scoring !

The higher scores are offset by scoring points lower down on your "off days" it seems.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I think though it might take at least one season for the new boys/cars to catch up with the rest.. Brawn might not be as competitive without experience or all the work that Honda did for the 2009 season before they pulled the plug.

I think this years gonna be a walkover for one of the established teams or a 3 way fight (Mclaren, Ferrari, rebbull)

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

agree this will be a good season and like you i'm not sure if Merc nee Brawn will be up there next year.

McLaren sorted out the car but had a heavy kers system. With this gone then can make the car even better and should be right up there.
Ferrari with Massa had a good car and it won at Spa so again with no KERS should be back at the front every race.
Red Bull ended the year with the fastest car.
Brawn started with the fastest car and then went no where with it so be interesting what Merc can do with that

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

It could be a forth, lets not forget about Force India. They had some "popups" as it where. Of course, the company I work for sponser them, so of course I wont them to pop up :D However, I can't wait especially, with the no re fulling rule. I

I also think your right, I am not expecting nothing from Button as hes going to take time to settle, the same goes with the new teams, again,t hey are going to take time to settle. Brawn GP / Mercedes again, I dont think they will be competitve at all, that said, if they get Schumi, who knows.. I still don't think Rosburg is that gooda choice in my opinion

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

trouble is they say that every year. The new rules last year were meant to lead to more overtaking and that didn't happen and with the same rules next year I think things will be the same.

It does make me laugh on other forums. People are saying the cars will explode as they have more fuel on board now

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Yep, hence as I said you;ll probably get the same.. That is 3-4 teams dominating and the rest following the pack, then half way through the season the rest catch up and someone else dominates for a bit

As for exploding cars oh what little memories they have..pity they've also not got the variable boost turbos that would eat the fuel and cause the usual coasting to a stop on the last lap :):):)

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I suspect we will have a red and silver car ( or whatever colour McLaren use) at the front with Red Bull and Mercedes close behind. Be nice to have a four way battles all season long and hopefully get some overtaking on the track too
