James,

Are the rumours true that you’ll be replacing Jonathan Legard for next season?

Sir,

In my line of business that’s a viable risk, and one worth taking.

Exactly… I think Renault just wanted an advance so they can design another 20 or 30 front wings before the end of the year.

Hi James

I heard that Hispania bought Toyota’s operation from last season, does this mean they going to run Toyota’s proposed 2010 challengers for the rest of the season?

“I fully expect Petrov to get fired before the end of the season for “not performing well enough”.”

I doubt they’ll fire a good source of income, if they are asking for money from Bernie.

hi James interesting article thanks! I have one question that you haven’t mentioned or answered.

“There are several teams who are not in great shape financially” from your report

Please can you enlighten us of these teams? I think we know two teams Hispania and now Renault but who are the others?

1. People need to stop seeing this as the Renault team. It is Lopez’s team, with a Renault label. Were it Renault, they wouldn’t be going to Bernie, hat-in-hand.

2. Same old song, different tune: Bernie will divide-&-conquer the teams. Same as it ever was. He’ll advance the weak ones $ so that they survive…and vote his way in FOTA. How utterly predictable, and sad that the teams don’t get it.
