It would fit the facts - they announced that the 2006/7 test programme would be done with the orange car, not the 2005/6 programme yet here we are with an orange MP4-20.
I'm assuming that Vodafone would have to buy out the contract but it may be cheap at the price rather than having another potentially poor year at Ferrari. That of course could leave Ferrari in a bit of a bind - up to $40 million short and very little time to line up a replacement who would certainly be looking to exploit a team desperate for cash.
Certainly does - especially as when was the last time McLaren went for a Orange test car?
When they went with West and turned Silver, red and black. Could be an indication of whats happenign behidn the scenes
I reckon Vodaphone would need to pay them the full $40mill to get out - however they would lose any performance bonus due to them *although based on last year - what performance bonus...*
However - the Vodafone Mercedes DTM car looks great - hopefully the F1 car will look as good.
