The McLaren and Red Bull Formula 1 teams are in a legal dispute over the latter's new head of aerodynamics Dan Fallows.

Red Bull announced on Wednesday morning that Fallows would become its new aero chief, and that Peter Prodromou, who has agreed a deal to join McLaren, would begin a period of "gardening leave" before taking up his new post at the Woking team.

Think McLaren will lose this one ( ie Fallows will end up in the more senior RBR position)

They may get compensation but its the experience / knowledge they were after)

If he has signed a contract with McLaren then he is up *** creek.

Nothing that a financial settlement can't solve.

I can't contain my shock that the ladyboy is back in the garage now Lewis looks to be back on the front row for a while. Who'd have thought it.

Didn't they get back together well before the start of the season?

Which is exactly why I mentioned compensation.

The reason I said what I did is that McLaren are not likely to force someone to work for them who doesnt want to, its not in their interest for several reasons

Were the McLaren engineers looking at Man Of Steel whilst designing the 2014 rear suspension? Just wondering...

Rumours brewing that BMW are considering a return as Engine supplier.

Good, more manufacturers in the sport means a healthier future looking forwards.

 

[dannyjo22]

As long as they don't get delusions again and start to take over a team badly

And as long as Mario is no where near it this time

 

[FrankJH]

Could they really have an engine ready in time for entry in 2015?

Would be great to see BMW back in the sport (with Minardi? lol)

Was thinking the other day that with the new rules that manufacturers love and with Mercedes having a lot of success at the moment, surely BMW could make the case to their board to get back into F1. As long as it's only as a supplier of engines rather than do a Ferrari/Mercedes.

Indeed. More competition in terms of engine choice and perhaps lower costs as well, could benefit the lower teams.

Red Bull are going to need someone to use...

They'll probably "find" some old M12 blocks they've had sat outside for 30 years then chop a cylinder off.
