Barry was set for a return and Caterham's demise ruined it. Just shows how desperate they were for money.

Don't think there's any truth to that story, why would he want to trundle around at the back of the grid like that ? At least he left F1 with a decent team.

@PitLaneTalk 1 Oct 2014 - Thank you for all the disrespectful messages. The account will only be deleted if Alonso won't leave Ferrari at the end of 2014. #F1.
So that suggests he's going no where...

It was slightly more than that iirc and had a million pound per race win bonus. I thought it was a great offer considering Damons age. Yeah he earnt more money at Arrows and Jordan but he could have won at least one more title and far more money with a Mclaren deal depending on who his team mate was.
Regardless Mclaren are a **** location for any top driver to expect consistent cars and consistent title challenges. I will die inside if Alonso goes back to that festering hole of greyness. I dream of they day they go into administration. Boring monotone finns that they could un-plug and slot in another was the right thing for them.

Good news (depending on how you look at it) that, potentially, Caterham and Marussia may have been saved, still it's a long way before actually lining up on the grid first race next year.

Very harsh. The brand is very grey maybe, the people certainly not.
I'm assuming CF1 is the new ownership replacing 1Malaysia?

CF1 Caterham F1 even has redundancy built in.
RIP in peace.

All depends if there is a £10m difference in what KM can get apposed to JB when combined with Alonso's "spanking" (which everyone said would happen to JB vs Lewis at McLaren and never did) in the WCC ......

Yes, good point.
JB has always been reliable at getting points which is, lets face it, all that the manufacturers want.
Points mean prizes after all.

On the entry lists the company name is '1Malaysia Racing Team SDN BHD' with the team name 'CF1 Caterham F1 Team' so I have no idea what has happened with regards to ownership!
It's listed here with company and team names.
No the people are too, anyone with any personality get's it knocked or sucked out of them. Certainly since the senna days. Grey corporate PR team lacking any personality. It's the John Major of the grid. I don't have high hopes that will change with Honda. Unless Honda have changed their way of working since the BAR days. They were soulless drones too wandering the pitlane.
Drivers get a lease of life and personality once they cut loose from there. They actually get to speak their minds.
Isnt that more to do with him being crap at quali.
The car finishes where it should, he just puts it lower on the grid than it should be.
Now that one's a surprise. Must come along with a chunky cheque. Shame for Van Der Garde, but I assume that he'll stay on as tester.
Wonder where Palmer will end up, if at all.

Didn't see that one coming, wonder how much influence Williams are having for that, or if it's purely down to the Banco do Brasil sponsorship.
