    Looks like a bit of damage control/spin from RD. Lifted from Gennie Gow: "Ron Dennis lays large portion of blame for 2007 failure at Lewis Hamiltons door...highlighting his immaturity. Ouch" Don't know where she got that...press conference?

    He can afford to be?????

    I saw an early 80's SCCA Formula Ford race pop up on the Facetube today, not only did I see John Paul driving but also a young Chip Ganassi!

    I can't imagine Chip fitting into a FF! :D

    About the same time they quit running the Detroit race through the streets of Detroit and I couldn't pronounce any of the drivers names.

    Audi's F1 entry subject of feasibility study, report says

    Staff report
    Automotive News Europe
    December 8, 2014 10:39 CET -- UPDATED: Dec. 8 11:38 CET - Adds Audi comment
    Volkswagen Group is conducting a feasibility study on whether its Audi brand should enter Formula One to challenge rival Mercedes-Benz, a report said.

    Ousted Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali is conducting the study, British broadcaster BBC said. Domenicali joined Audi Nov.1 with responsibility for "new business and mobility services."

    Audi is "seriously" looking into an F1 entry, which could happen in 2016 or 2017, company sources told Automotive News Europe.

    The BBC report coincided with news Bernie Ecclestone may soon be marginalized in his role as the F1 chief. Ecclestone and VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech "have long had a difficult relationship," according to the BBC's Chief F1 writer, Andrew Benson. "At least one of them would need to leave their current position before a VW Group brand could enter F1," Benson said.

    VW CEO Martin Winterkorn, who is being groomed as Piech's successor, favors Audi joining F1 to emulate the global marketing success achieved by new F1 champion Mercedes, Benson said. Winterkorn "has always believed that F1 is a great platform for the group's brands. I am told he privately believes VW Group should be a part of F1," he reported.

    Winterkorn told the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag last month: "Our brands in motorsport are as successful as ever, whether in the DTM with Audi or Le Mans with Audi and Porsche, or in the World Rally Championship with Volkswagen. We feel we have a really good position," he said.

    The BBC said that Audi would enter F1 with its own team based in Germany, refuting reports that have linked a potential VW Group return with the Austrian Red Bull team. Piech has a close relationship with Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz.

    Audi motorsport head Wolfgang Ullrich last month knocked down speculation about a possible F1 entry, saying "there is no decision that we are going in that direction."

    Audi today told Automotive News Europe that the reports were “rumors” and declined to comment further.

    Luca Ciferri and AutoWeek contributed to this report

    If that happens the private teams are more doomed than they are now.

    Maybe they come in as an engine supplier first. Joining up with a top team like Williams. (Merc won't give Williams an engine that can beat them). Both they and Honda will need a junior team to be guinea pigs. So 5 engine suppliers with 5 "factory" teams and 5 junior teams. 10 teams in total. Any one else is just playing to waist money.

    Some of you will remember the former F1 doc, Gary Hartstein, who, among other things, provided a lot of layman-friendly explanations of Michael Schumacher's medical condition, etc. According to this Jalopnik article -- Ex-F1 Doctor Claims FIA Tried To Have Him Fired Over Blog Posts -- the FIA may be after him, trying to get him fired from his day job.

    Hartstein's open letter to the FIA Institute President (and Jean Todt) is really entertaining :D IMO: An open letter to Gérard Saillant (oh yeah Jean Todt too)

    I'm guessing his lawyer(s) told him to lay low for a bit and stop poking the bear(s).
