Button to Merc Mc?

F1 magazine is reporting that Pedro de la Rosa and Gary Paffett are signed with ProDrive for 2008.

 

The question now is, what, if anything, will they be driving?

 

Very good point. Last time I heard from Richards was that there is not enough money.

 

Last I heard, McCheaters won't supply ProDrive/Richards a car until the customer car issue is settled, and Williams isn't giving up on this issue. So, who knows.

 

I read an article that I thought was pretty good suggesting that Richards and ProDrive had been royally screwed by Bernie and Max. Remember they had that big competition or whatever where Mosley invited teams to send proposals and he and his humps would decide who was worthy of being graced with an entry ticket into F1. Well, ProDrive one. Doubtless they spent a lot of $$ on that proposal, and once they were told they won, I am sure more sacks of cash were burned through to get them ready.

Now.. they won't be in F1 after all?

It's borderline criminally negligent. Who the hell does Max think he is dangling carrots out in front of for-profit corporations, getting them to spend $$$$$$$$ then then brushing them off as insignificant?
