Looks like it is to become an American outfit.

That might help the US races.

I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of Stephen Fitzpatrick at a recent team managers conference, I hope he stays on.

So Filipe Nasr who won 2 points for Sauber in 2016 looks likely to be the one caused Manor to go over the edge and now won't even be able to drive for them, gutted for him, and Manor.

It looks like it's the race team that have gone bust not the F1 license holder so possibilities still remain for a Honda/Dennis/Lowden deal.

Shame that Liberty couldn't inject some short term support. Maybe Bernie could have returned as a team owner although I see he could even start an alternative championship.

Could this be the start of StefanGP after all these years? Stick a big wing on the 2010 Toyota I'm sure it will be competitive.

At least they have been persistent over the years, only losing out to Sauber (yawn).
