    Seems an odd thing to do particurly when Bernie has made it clear that he only wants 10 teams on the grid

    Yeah I'm guessing it's a marketing prank for that book. Julia Wurz (who wrote it) is Alex's wife, probably how she got PDLR to tweet the site.

    I thought it was going to be a Formula E team until I read the URL.

    I'd already got visions of a couple of cars bombing around in the Dupont colors of Jeff Gordon's NASCAR. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! :(

    Yeah, as the white text in my OP feared, it's probably April fools. A guy on reddit has it nailed.

    Not long to wait now eh, Canary?!


    Don't take Bernie too seriously. Marketing is his game; but only so long as he preserves himself&#8230;*

    I'd inserted a <'laugh'> icon but it didn't appear. &#8211; Seems it did not take kindly to being typed in green text, so this one will be deliberately black!

    gotta feel sorry for Caterham, they musta thought they'd been promoted from last on the grid.

    Saw this on Autosport first and thought for a split second what great news that would be and then remembered the date and my excitement quickly drained away again...
