No cheating teams left in F1?

Haven't Renault given the FIA a promise to stay in F1, at least for the
2010 season?

Toyota were committed to 2012, weren't they?

they had signed the concorde, so yes. All current teams afaik are
signed on, bar BMW, and as such are all "contractually committed" to
the sport untill 2012. pulling out will probably cost them quite some
money.

But not as much as staying in presumably?
I fear for Renault's future participation.

They may continue to supply engines - as they're contracted to Red Bull
and flog their team off to some Eyetie spiv!

Well that wouldn't achieve much - if you're referring to Briatore. Any
team or driver or company that has a connection to Briatore may not
have any role in F1.

Why nationality is so often an issue on a newsgroup devoted to a truly
international sport is not clear to me.

Whoosh
Well sometimes people say "woosh" because they think they were clever

enough to make a misleading or ambiguous post. Sometimes they say it
after the event so that they don't have to explain or clarify
anything.

What part of 'inter *national' don't you get?
Oh I get it. I'm just wondering why the nationality is so often made

significant - usually when an insult is being offered.

Seems to me that all F1 teams "cheat" one way or another, if they can and
think they can get away with it, or successfully argue it to the FIA.

If we think that McLaren, Ferrari and Renault are cheats, then why not bung
in Brawn, Toyota and Williams in too? FI possibly get tech info from McLaren
/ Merc. Cheats. I hate BMW, so they are cheats, plus they are GERMAN.
Leaving the Red Bull teams. Must be something we can pin on them.

Aha! I see this is the same charlie who was complaining about South
Africans in another post instead of actually dealing with the issue.

Note to self: Don't expect anything sensible.
