Default Recent developments - 11-04-2009 , 08:05 PM






So - Bridgestone out after 2010. There's time to line up another source
of tires, but what other manufacturer is likely to step up?

And - Toyota out immediately. What are the penalties for leaving before
2012 under the new Concorde agreement? Why is the FIA talking about
needing to clarify the legal situation (especially as this prolongs the
uncertainty around Sauber Qadbak's entry)? And why are the FIA and
Ferrari sniping at each other again over cost containment?

Oh, and does anyone think that if the Renault board had decided today to
continue in F1 they wouldn't have announced it immediately (rather than
delaying past their PR event already scheduled for Thursday)?

Pirelli, Goodyear and Michelin have all apparently said no. Dunlop?
