Ponty Posted 4 November, 2009 Share Posted 4 November, 2009 Yeah, I mentioned it on this thread... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=17719 There are many things that would indicate that a pull-out is not on the cards. Some are obvious, like signing Kubica and not quitting after "Crashgate", and some I just can't mention but (trust me) do not fit in with the scenario of a team about to withdraw from the sport. That said, nothing would surprise me in this day and age and it bothers me that Red Bull are yet to officially confirm the use of the RS27 engine next year, even though it's been reported as fact.

Arizona Posted 4 November, 2009 Share Posted 4 November, 2009 Playing Devil's advocate Ponty, Toyota did make some noise about trying to sign Raikkonen in the last couple of weeks. As you say, anything is possible. Good luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted 4 November, 2009 Share Posted 4 November, 2009 Any idea what's come out of the EGM yet Ponty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 4 November, 2009 Share Posted 4 November, 2009 None. There won't be an announcement until after they've introduced their zero emissions car range tomorrow. I'm not sure that's a good sign, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Paul C Posted 4 November, 2009 Share Posted 4 November, 2009 Anyone read French? http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3815/itwcaubet041109.jpg In one question he states that the decision on F1 won't be announced until tomorrow - but I guess we all knew that.

Colinjb Posted 4 November, 2009 Share Posted 4 November, 2009 Fingers crossed to everyone at Renault. I personally feel a return to the more privateer roots of F1 would be beneficial for the sport, but not at the expense of people's jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 5 November, 2009 Share Posted 5 November, 2009 I'm not trying to take the p*ss, but maybe they could come back with the old Bennetton name. I miss the old teams like Minardi, Tyrell, Stewart, Jordan and Arrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 5 November, 2009 Share Posted 5 November, 2009 I'm not sure where people get the idea that a return of privateer garagista teams would be of any benefit to the sport. Those teams came and went on a whim, moreso than the car manufacturers who have only really left as a knock on from the global economic crisis.

I dont think it would be beneficial for the sport, but its a rather romantic view of the sport which I think would endear people towards it. I know when i was a kid I dreamed of either driving in F1 or being a team owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
