I don't drink but those that do and do take up this challenge could be drunk by 130R! (on his out lap!)
Tobias Grüner F1 ‏@tgruener 42s42 seconds ago #F1 Toro Rosso plans to run @MaxVerstappen3 in all FP1 sessions in the remaining races - except Russia, when Max is driving F3 at Imola.
I wonder how kvyat will take to all this. He was supposed to be the next best red bull star but he may be the next Buemi come next season. His rise to f1 wasnt so glorified. What ever happened to da costa?
Caterham may now be deceased! Etienne Dokkum ‏@Etienne_Dokkum 9m9 minutes ago BREAKING: #Caterham factory seized by bailiff and police. As of yet no official confirmation. More too follow soon. #F1LiveStream thejudge13 ‏@thejudge13 7m7 minutes ago Staff have been asked to turn off servers and leave the premises in Leafield #F1 #TJ13 Tom Wilkinson ‏@TomWilkinsonF1 6m6 minutes ago Wow, so Caterham are unlikely to race this weekend or again it seems? Big news coming from Leafield. #F1 #TWF1 Tom Wilkinson ‏@TomWilkinsonF1 2m2 minutes ago #F1 Breaking, workers at Caterham Leafield have been asked to shut down servers & systems. It is believed police & bailiffs are on site.
The judge was the first to report this and this is what he says: Then theres this from the Telegraph:
http://thesheriffsoffice.com/articl...g-sale-of-a-formula-one-vehicle-and-equipment I can't help but feel that we might get a Forza Rossa / Caterham merger at this rate with the whole Kolles connection and everything. Or maybe Stefan. I assume JV will still be keen to drive for them... EDIT: I should point out that listing is probably not the most trustworthy thing in the world but it really doesn't look good for Caterham. I'm desperately pulling for Kobayashi to get a proper seat next year.
Kolles is a bit like one of those dodgy tax fiddling chairmen that have "ran" over 50 companies that "mysteriously", 49 of which went bust. Not a man to be trusted IMO.
From what I read the other day. Caterham have a 2015 car in the wind tunnels in cologne. Kolles old stamping ground so where are Forza? Or is it still stefans factory still? It's all very dodgy.
Dodgier than the Quantum "deal" for Lotus IMO. Much more sinister too if i'm right. Somebody is about to get utterly shafted i feel, and by the looks of it, most likely candidates are (what's left of) the factory workers in the UK. they'll put in all the donkey work for the 2015 car end end up with little or nothing for it bar a p45, meanwhile Forza can ride in with all the tech left over when Caterham get whatever assets they have left stripped and "bought", to be transferred to another base in Europe. Cheap way to set up for them when they already have the bones of a defunct team left over. Didn't Kolles say he would like a team based in Romania? I'll repeat, he's not a man to be trusted.
The good news is, Alonso is allegedly looking for a seat and has santander backing How long is Maldonando's contract again?
