Who are these two clowns? IT for the team? "just-a here to update-a the antivirus..." I bet they're both not very good at doing whatever it is they do. Probably considerably overrated.

No, the real question is "Will Marussia actually get their salvage deal?"

I'm pretty sure he'd give them the same leeway as Caterham. He needs one of them to make the grid.

Since nobody answered last time, I'll ask again - what/where is the official ruling regarding this magical loophole where if a specific number of cars make the grid Bernie loses out massively?

I've never heard anything about a ruling like that.

There was something about n° cars and engine limits

That was number of races.

The "number of cars" thing is that there is a gap between "Minimum number of cars such that the tracks keep the same contracts" and "Minimum number of cars to force teams to run 3 cars to up the numbers"

I forget where I ever read it but I'll keep repeating it endlessly.

What I saw is that Bernie has to guarantee at least 20 cars for the season. He can't force three cars per team unless there are 8 or less teams.

"Haas were in, so they count, they just deferred but because we're holding them a place, we couldn't hire another team there long-term. Ergo, they count as being in, like they were before they deferred." - Bernie, probably

I have to admit that double points did give Britney a fighting chance for the last race, but I hope that they've gotten rid of it for this year like they said.

As much as I was routing for Rosberg, I wouldn't have wanted for him to win on double points as it would have been undeserved in my opinion. And this is from a non Hamilton fan.

What did you do that for?

Even if Manor manage to get to the first race, where would they go from there? A couple of 2014 chassis and a handful of staff. What's the point?

The best rescue deal is to buy it up skip the season and go for 2016 when you've got a proper infrastructure back in place.

35m ain't poo poo to Bernie, that's walking around money. He pays his ex wife more just to keep schtum about his tax affairs.
