Per http://www.f1i.com/content/view/4592/1/ Insiders in the know are adamant that a semi-works engine deal with Toyota, to see Williams renamed 'Williams-Lexus' in 2007, is all but sealed. After struggling with a customer engine in 2006, Sir Frank says hooking up with a carmaker is the only way to haul in major sponsors.
Yes, and he is losing Budweiser after this year. He cannot survive paying Cosworth, Webber, etc. on Royal Bank of Scotland sponsorship.
I was thinking Dell might have joined them to replace HP, but it looks like they went to BMW Sauber fairly recently.
poor frank. many thought that with those cosworth V8s, his team will be challenging for 1-2-3 spot this season...
