Ferrari Mailing List: Re: HOnda quits F-1 Next year

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

Its all over the news here because they are a big employer. Reporting today  
that they have several buyers lined up who are serious. Ross Braun was  
interviewed for the morning news shows about this and says he has a great car  
for 
next season and its a quick way to get up high in the F1 stakes.
 
If you look objectively it is hard to understand how the money can be  
justified for anybody right now in F1. Toyota is rumoured to be next..
 
I hate the idea of a single engine, it would ruin the sport for me however  
it makes sense if you look at the cost savings..
 
F1 is a rich mans sport and with even places like Dubai in major financial  
trouble, you have to wonder where the money is coming from.

Evidently no engine supplier as this article mentions Ferrari as a  possible 
engine supplier for whomever ends up with the  chassis'.
