They're not that old.. Mika is only a year older than Michael and JV is younger and they don't drive like Volvo drivers
.. he's doing pretty well with the Renault so far, it'll be good to see him racing at Shanghi
Still ... mika is OLDER than michael and obviously less talented. We will just have to wait to see how jv goes ... maybe he might cause ralf to crash like he did a couple of yrs ago at melbourne.
So Jaguar no longer in F1 from next year. Apparently they are not ready to invest the money that is needed to make them a top team. It stuffs up Jordan and Minardi who are using the Ford Cosworth engine, cause Ford is also going to abandon Cosworth.
Its going to be interesting to see if anyone decides to enter F1 as a new team.
Didn't some Arab guy buy Jordan? ..it was towards the begining of the season..argh I can't evn remember now..
I've heard rumours that Minardi might look to getting the Mercedes engine.. just like Saubers "Petronas" (Ferrari) engine it won't carry the Mercedes branding..
hey don't tear me to shreads.. I was just telling you guys about "rumours" ...but apparently Cosworth still have a contract with Minardi..so it should be a cosworth something engine...just not a cosworth-ford one ..if they decide to honour their contract..
Mercedes have a long way to go.. I think it was the Honda? engine that was best for McLaren..
Shit happens. Good to see JV in Sauber. I never liked him but now I hope he can scores some points for us. As for teams entering - don't expect it too soon. There is something like a $50 million dollar "bond" which should be paid before entry into the F1 Championship. This, coupled by the whole GPWC debacle is a big hinderance - so do not expect manufacturers such as Audi or VW entering in the near future despite the rumours being circulated ( I even once read that Skoda were entering F1). However, the planned cost cutting mechanisms may lower this "bond", allowing an easier path for these manufacturers and even richer F3000 (now F3) teams such as Arden to enter F1, and hopefully new manufacturers. Now, with Jag out of the picture, I sure hope Bernie does something to entice new teams and essentially, keep the remaining teams which look like going under (i.e. Jordan and Minardi)
