This would be flabbergasting, if true. Lowdon thinks it'll be over if they sell the stuff

http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/12...p-for-marussia

but when you consider the factory's gone surely they're now in a position where they'll have set up costs?

Can't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong.

FIA Super Licence rules amendment

From 2016, drivers must have accumulated 40 points over a 3 year period. Points will be allocated dependent on which motor series they have taken part in, and levels of results achieved.

Drivers must also be 18+, spent at least 2 years in junior single seater categories, hold a valid road driving licence and pass a test on the sporting regulations of F1. Existing requirement of 300 km in a recent F1 car remains in place.

These rules mean that Max Verstappen would be ineligible for the 2015 season if the rules existed now. More details in the article: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...5/1/16755.html

Virtual safery car rules finalised: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...5/1/16758.html

Force India now going to launch a new livery today, but not the actual car yet apparently. The article says that McLaren will now be the first to unveil their car but there are pictures of the new Williams on the front of f1 racing mag. As soon as I can work out how to post a picture I will!

They're confidently talking the new car up as well, whilst Williams are saying that they might have lost a bit with the new nose changes.

I was expecting them to move away from the silver, but it still looks good.

Looks like the 2012 car. Was hoping for something new but it does look good.

Not sure where they'll be, though.
