Great shame. I know they are just another "also ran" team but if we only had the major players in F1 then we'd just be watching 10 cars driving round each week.

I'm not sure why any of them turn up, the only things of any interest happen off the track

OK I am going to retire from F1 due to a profiteering set-up which flatters the more financially solvent teams.

At least I did it.

To be expected really, especially seeing as they can't run their current cars from next year anyway.

Rich, does this mean that there is now an opportunity for you to enter a couple of cars?
