Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It's not looking good, it just shows how it costs a "lot" of money to be in F1. It is interesting how important the manufacturers championship is to the teams moneywise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory's Dad Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I find it strange that the top teams get 'heaps' of money - the newbies next to nothing. All teams should get the same IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Not according to this. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116445 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Smells to me like a bit of a technical short is going on with companies chopping and changing. I have supplied 4 or 5 of the F1 teams with equipment. Most of them have no credit rating and are not going concerns surviving month to month on new sponsorship deals or loans not being called in by backers.

Rory's Dad Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The thing about Caterham F1 is it's (poor) record of name badging. Nothing much to do with the 7s and previously nothing much to do with Lotus. More so called style over substance IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 All staff locked out this morning! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-29738116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yes, just the car building company went bust to start with, now the actual F1 team has been locked out by the administrator of the first company, who own the property and it seems that the F1 team haven't paid the rent. Bernie is trying to sort it out. I just hope he has his petty cash tin. The effluent has hit the air conditioning. There are still deals to be done.
