Few thoughts:

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

He usually was.

Quote:

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

Me too. I was hoping for more of Kobayashi. Perhaps he'll get another drive.

How long have the rumors been going on that they were going to pull
out? Three years now?

Now official.

"Honda, Japan's second biggest carmaker, shocked F1 when it announced
its withdrawal last December. Its Super Aguri team were taken over by
Brawn GP, who went on to win the constructors' title in the current
season, which ended in Abu Dhabi on Sunday."

Eh?
Super Aguri, Brawn?

You didn't by any chance send the FIA one about the election did you?

Toyota might like to sell the team along with it's entry spot yet. Not sure
that would suit Qadbank who have already bought one team.

Hmmm. Weren't Sauber "guaranteed" the 13th slot if an existing team
pulled out? I'd assume that a management buy-out of Toyota would be
classed as a new team (cf Brawn this year) and would have to take its
chances at the back of the new teams queue.

So I guess we're going to have a repeat of this past season with
whoever buy's them out. No japanese management and Thunderbird white
and red is GO!

No the rumour is that most staff will go to another motorsport
pursuits, the team will not be sold. Although I wonder about
facilities???

I'm sure they could be converted to use by other racing teams if all else

fails.
