I don’t think gulf works on an F1 car, the central orange stripe makes the car look tall. They may use it, but I’d prefer british racing green.

@Dougie – I’d agree, I think it was all some sort of shock therapy for the big guys.
The idiotic notion that its a level playing field when Ferrari spends half a billion dollars a year on it was just silly. I mean, heck that’d buy half a nuke submarine!

The big point everyone may have overlooked is that FOTA file all nine team applications as one with the intent of forcing Max to accept them all or reject them all.

As for Richards Prodrive/Aston Martin intentions, I think DR sees an opportunity for AM to inherit the mantle of Ferrari if they all leave. It could also be an incentive for Ferrari to stay on and have a marque to race against.

TommyB, your Gulf liveried car looks fantastic, not to mention Gulf gas sponsorship tied to Gulf States finance backing.

Good news. I wonder if Aston Martin will be building their own engines…

@John H

Why only 26 cars though??? Can’t we go back to the pre-qualify days and have more teams..? the more the better in my opinion.

Somehow I have a feeling that the manufacturer teams might not like that. We have seen Toyota, Renault, etc. missing the cut on Q1 — imagine if they missed PQ and could not even race!

I don’t think Prodrive should be granted an entry for 2010. They were given the chance to enter F1 in 2008 and failed. Let someone else without a proven track record of failure enter instead.

They should just brand the team ‘Prodrive Aston-Martin’ or ‘Aston-Martin Prodrive’. Keep both names.
