Alas, no more Trulli train.
Funny, those announcers on Sunday talking about the slower qualifiers always being stuck behind Trulli and how he spoils their races. They must have been rubbing his face in it after his earlier tantums over his Brazilian at-fault come together with Sutil.

people know what F1 is here? lol...

yeah sucks, sounds like Renault isnt far behind.

Of course, Honda pulled out too....

True, but theres speculation that Renault really has no reason to stay there. The big auto manufs don't trickle down F1 technology into their cars as they once did.

SilverBack · 11-04-2009, 08:21 PM

So I take it Ferrari's the only team with a future now?

Betrivent · 11-04-2009, 09:36 PM

No worries, sometime in the future a new racing league will come out.

(If F1 goes completely belly up)

ddongbap · 11-04-2009, 10:21 PM

Ferrari, MclarrenMbenz, Renault are the only ones up right now.

Speculation that someone may buy up Toyota's team.

Theres one team using a Honda, but its a private team.

The ALMS GT2 series in America is pretty dope.

There are a few new teams for 2010 like Peter Windsor's US-F1 and plus Cosworth will be a engine manufacturer again for Williams. I am exited about Cosworth. I will admitt to have been a BAR fan since Jaques used to drive for them so I was very happy to see Button win

Since they stopped showing F1 in my area, I haven't been able to keep up to date with them.

Inspector14 · 11-05-2009, 03:19 AM

i think that this is a good thing for Formula 1.

someone may buy up the remnants of the toyota team, like was done with honda, and BMW/ Sauber. Toyotas departure may now free up that 13th spot on the grid for Sauber to actually return next year.

the sad thing that i get from this is... Kamui Kobayashi. that guy has some real tallent. toyota was his best shot for an actual drivers seat. i really would have liked to see Kamui on the grid next year.

ddongbap · 11-05-2009, 04:01 AM

Yea dude. Even Jenson was surprized at Mr Kobayashi.

yes, Jensen was taken by surprise a couple of times by Kamui's tenacity. you dont see a new driver fight so much these days. especially when it comes to tangling with veterans.

i really hope he finds a seat with one of the new teams. Bruno Senna signed with campos, maby Kamui will sign with Sauber if they come back, or lotus. USGPE would be a stretch.

Probably best. They should put that money to improving quality and making exciting cars, not appliances.
