    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?

    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?

    You're in charge of recruitment then. If we get Maldonado we're going to need more spare parts ....
