    I can get them a deal on VW diesels.


    If they're willing to buy in bulk.

    I'm pretty sure they won't be able to run them in Austin though! ;)

    I think if the plan for the 3.5 litre v6 comes about, those teams might have a slight advantage reliability wise as the kers system, being a simple one, maybe won't go wrong as we hear so often for other teams. I'd prefer naturally aspirated or simple turbo units without all this kers and ers rubbish at all, save that for the sad future of road cars, leave racing to petrol only power and you immediately slash costs and allow a budget to go testing

    Yup. And all Brits are ex-RAF, live like Hobbits under thatched roofs in villages where quaint people murder each other on a regular basis.

    I say old chap - Bang on!

    Of course when it comes to murdering someone it's highly important to make an effort to get to know them first! - Murdering total strangers is simply bad mannered and just not cricket don't you know! ;)

    Watching old episodes of David Suchet portraying Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot really gets one in the mood and gives great ideas. Given my passion for cars and propensity to talk too much about them at people who aren't really interested, my parents say I'm essentially Captain Arthur Hastings. :eek:

    Anyway, getting back on point about cars... I'd love to see some NA or simple KERS systems instead of the nightmare turbo hybrids we've got now. That'd be a step back in the right direction again.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I always imagined neuro as more a Thomas magnum type myself (ha ha, no bans for me now!, take that!)

    Best thing about the Suchet Poirot was the Art Moderne buildings and sets.

    I suspect that the situation Red Bull now find themselves in would baffle all of the great crime solvers of our time!

    To conclude your current engine supply contract a year early without having a replacement engine supply in place already, is to defy the most basic of logical thinking.

    And to make an assumption that another engine supplier will automatically want to supply you, without ensuring that to be the case first, is arrogance of a magnitude that is remarkable! - Even for F1!

    A man who gambles everything he owns based purely on an assumption, without checking all of the facts first, and who ends up losing everything when that assumption turns out to be incorrect, can only have himself to blame! - That is only simple logic, n'est ce pas?
