Few thoughts:

Max was right. He expected that one or more factories will pull out.

Kobayashi will be dissappointed. (Hopefully no return to sushi-making
for him.)

Glock goes to Renault.

Kovalainen lost another possible seat.

Trulli is going to Lotus or to his vineyards.

-Webs-

Trulli will stalk Sutil.

* *I assume this is the reason they are letting in three new teams. *When
BMW announced they would leave everyone was saying they new of another
manufacturer was going to leave. *This must have been known for some time.
I don't know if it was know that specific manufacturers were going to

be leaving, but a couple of years ago Mosley had warned that the auto
manufacturers were not in it for the long haul. So it may well be that
there was an expectation that one or more of them would jump ship.

*They should shut down the team, partner with one team and supply engines.
Who says that's not going to happen. All we actually know is that

there is going to be an announcement. This could be that they're
quitting, it could be an early announcement of their intention to
continue , it could be that they are scaling back to providing engines
only, it could be that they're going to do Indy Cars instead, it could
be....

This is still very much a rumour and came about because KK and his
management were seen in talks with existing and new teams. Mind you
I'm told some blokes suspect it may have teeth.

beers,
build

Who is KK?
KK is an acronym for "Kimi Kovalainen". He's a clone produced by TTE

that has the speed of Kimi and the consistency of performance and
press friendliness of Kovalainen. DNA was harvested from inside
helmets and from glasses used during post-race interviews. A loophole
in the regulations allows him to claim TWO super licences.

Is that a joke Bob? Hard to be sure after you have posted so many other
nonsensical things that you have insisted are correct. ;-)
