out with Cosworth in with Renault (Cosworth 1 Renault5 ?)
F1: Cosworth Down To One Engine Customer ??? :: PaddockTalk :: F1, Formula 1, NASCAR, IndyCar, MotoGP, ALMS, And More!
Cosworth could be left with just a single formula one customer next year, if the latest rumblings from the rumour mill turn out to be true.
It was reported at the end of last month that HRT, the struggling Spanish team, is set to begin working with a Cologne company co-owned by Tony Fernandes and Mike Gascoyne.
Fernandes and Gascoyne, best known for heading the Team Lotus/Caterham team, reportedly now also own "the design office of the former Toyota team", according to the BBC in November.
Then, on the provisional 2012 entry list published recently by the FIA, HRT's engine supplier was listed as 'TBA' (to be announced).VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

I bet Dave Richards is kicking himself for not accepting the Cosworth engine for a year or two and then dumping it as soon as possible.

With no title sponsor, I can see Cosworth exiting F1 business after 2013.

That is a shame as I like the company. If the Renault can be competitive even if it is called the second fastest engine I think Cosworth can be competitive too, in the right car.

Hmm... it seems that Kevin "The Penguin" Kalkhoven has struck again.

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
