LONDON – Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has told the Sunday Express newspaper that F1 regulations allow teams to miss up to three races without penalty and that, as a result, the Campos and USF1 teams are unlikely to make the grid for the season opener in Bahrain.
Eccleston told the newspaper that the two teams need time to find more secure funding. Ecclestone was quoted as saying: "I think we won't see (the Spanish team) Campos and I don't think we will see the Americans." He said that his terms allow any team to miss up to three races. This could lead to a patchwork starting grid, with some of F1's 13 teams coming and going, depending on whether they can afford to race. If fewer than eight teams turn up for a race, the F1 Group may also have to pay hefty fines for breaching its contract with the governing body that grants it the commercial rights to the sport. A team based in Serbia is ready to take the position of any that drop out and is planning to buy the assets of Toyota's moribund team. Ecclestone said. "They have got the money from the Serbian government, I'vespoken to the prime minister." Honda, BMW and Toyota have pulled out of the sport. |

"I am very happy with how the day went today even if we could not finish our schedule completely due to several red flags. Still I managed to drive a lot of laps which is very precious to me. A new car, a new team, new conditions, so our first goal has to be to make the car reliable. Days like that one today help massively in that respect - especially as the weather forecast for the next days aren't quite so rosy. I feel very comfortable driving the car, it was good fun today."

"That was a conciliatory end of the testing days in Jerez, it was nice finally being able to drive in the dry for some more laps in a row. We are in our schedule but at the same time we are well aware there is still a lot of work ahead of us. Barcelona next week will be an important test in this respect for all of us and will give us more information about the performance of our car."
Michael Schumacher

The reffueling thing I dont think is gonna benefit Michael Schumacher that much. As a matter of fact, I think it will be to the disadvantage of most Aggressive drivers like him. Schumacher likes to go real fast for as long as possible and brake hard at the last possible moment, thats why he is so good in drivers circuits like Monaco. And since the cars are gonna be a lot heavier, I think he will wear out his tires quicker than the less aggressive drivers. Just my theory of course, but we'll see if I am right.

You should go to any random GP - I was doubtful about it but went as my pals were keen and Spa was great weekend. Doubt they'll ever do Manhatten tho.

Right i think i have an addiction to these sweepstake things.....
First off a sweepstake is a random draw, completely random so you CANT choose who you want. Ive decided to take only 12 applicants to make it fair so that someone doesnt get stuck with the likes of Sebastian Buemi or worse Jenson Button..... Will do a Draw tomorrow! (Last sweepstake I promise) Quote:
