    Williams seems like an option.

    For which one of them?

    Both I guess! ;)

    I think Fred will want too much money for Sir Franks taste.

    KI? A long shot, but maybe.... I think he really wants to show it wasn't all about the Can, and Williams are looking pretty good right now.... He'd obviously attract some more sponsorship their way too.

    Hmmmm..... Good point! ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian

    I made an announcement what more do you want, Am Bee-keeping in Viz's garage.

    Fred will go where he thinks he is going to get into the last chance saloon, to add to his trophy cabinet.

    However for me personally wherever that maybe, Hamilton will still be his nemesis in making that task harder.

    Before the announcement I'd have assumed the same about Seb but this isn't the first time we've seen the rash impetuous side of him.

    All will be revealed in the fullness of time but you'd think that once such a move was made that the other dominoes would follow. There's something else holding things up and I suspect that the three car option may be it.

    Stay tuned to this same Bat Channel.

    Now it has emerged that Vettel told Montezemolo about his contract and his exit clause when he bought a California for his dad. He also told him he dreams Ferrari. ;)

    Yep! "You heard it here first! " ;)

    Unfortunately, I think you may very well be correct. :(

    I know some here are all for it, but today, in this era, it would make me sad.

    Include me among them.
    The concentration of wealth in F1 is not healthy.
    Customer teams are a better solution.
    Feel free to disagree.

    Very much agree on the wealth concentration. Once again, a 'fairer' distribution of the prize fund would help many while hurting few only a little.....

    As for 3 cars -v- customer cars, IMO both would be bad, but the lesser of two evils?

    I really don't know!.... I think I'm leaning to customer teams though.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Welcome to the dark(ish) side.
    ;)

    If Bernie were to cough up more, a fair distribution would help. Failing that customer teams would lower small team expenses and allow them to get (excuse the pun) traction in the sport.

    Besides, as my first breeder warned me "never have three dogs in one home".

    Alonso was always Luca diM's boy.

    Luca's departure must have had a lot to do with this.

    Perhaps. But traditionally it's done with a smile and a knife in the back.

    So the 3 car idea got mentioned but with another evil. Not sure which was the lesser. Wouldn't that be funny.
