    Rumors have it, that Jean will run the B team. The engine will be provided by Merc and the chassis will be built at the former McLaren factory (before they moved to their new digs).

    Jean's Japanese wife is working sponsors from Japan. Wurz will be one of the drivers. The team will debut in 2007.

    Found this story/rumor on Blick.ch. Could be all false of course. What I do like is to see all these B teams moving into F1 again. Letting go of the $ 50 Million entry fee was a big help to make a field bigger than the current 20 cars. A good thing. :)

    well, i won;t rule it out actually. the FIA relesased a statement few days back regarding the new rules. in that statement, there was a mention about a 11th and a 12th team, so i won't doubt it..will be nice to have 12 teams again tho
