    they weren't helped by BMW or the FIA - perhaps you would rather they just took the Stobart position and put in Matt Wilson; or one of the multiple others that ppl complain about for getting seats in official entries.........cause the options seem to be to have them in full time or run 1 car and have the potential for the talented driver to enter fewer events?

    Because that what the contract that they, of their own free will, signed with BMW says was their job....

    You know, standard business that happens the world over. With basically every motorsport team in the entire world.

    their job was to find sponsors ??? i thought they were a motorsport company preparing cars for competition....

    ususally when a manufacturer signs with a team they provide it with the money as well to run...

    You think McLaren get gifted all their money and sponsors from Mercedes Benz? What about WIlliams?

    Name a motorsport team that wouldn't have their own sponsorship team to help pay the bills? C'mon, just one.
