hrd-hr30 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 none and buckley's?too bad Toyota's usual modus operandii of 'rock up, dump a shit-load of money on the problem, win' didn't come to fruition. 7 years, not once on the top podium spot. ouch F1's a very different beast to other motorsport discilpines might have been different if they threw more money at a real good experienced driver? They've had the raw pace on a few occassions over the years.

TALBO Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 It was rumoured that Mercedes were going to buy into Brawn GP. Interested to see also if Ron Dennis comes back to McLaren as team principal now that his best mate Max has gone!

Roy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Reaing EVO a few issues back they wre talking about the new McLaren road car and his focus on making that part of the business work. Does anybody remember the number of cars that must be on the grid otherwise promoters can murder Bernie? Forgetting the new teams for a minute. Sauber and Toyota gone, and possibly Renault. ( i expect them to pull out, i dont care that they signed Kubica). So thats only 14 cars on the grid. I am half expecting one of the new teams to pull out, or at least fall over mid season when their hack has been or rookie driver bins too many cars and they cant keep pace with actual chassis etc etc So is it 16 cars that must be on the grid as promised to even promoters? I think Bernie is going to have to get busy with some support for some people Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250076-2009-f1-season/page/117/#findComment-4919777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. He's running the sports car and automotive technology section of the business now. The day to day running of the race team is Whitmarsh's gig.

I think Bernie is going to have to get busy with some support for some people 24 car at the moment Roy, minimum in most of the contracts is 14 cars, so 5 more teams can drop out before Bernie has any issues that way, and all he'll do at that stage is enforce the rule regarding to top teams needing to field 3 cars.
