    Official Announcement

    This is the official Launch of the Line Up for Twix's Aki's Racing Team

    The team has found a new title sponsor for the 2015 FGP season and due to contract deputes will be dispensing with both its drivers from last season. Ricciardo led the team brilliantly in 2014, but increased wage demands have meant that TART will have to let him go. Maldonado will also leave the team after a disastrous 2014.

    After discussions for the last 3 months with several drivers, TART can announce their lead driver as Kimi Raikkonen. After a 2014 of lows the ice cream demands are at a decent level and TART have invested in the former World Champion.

    Joining him in car 2 this season is youngster Marcus Ericcson. Having been average in a snail paced Caterham last season, TART believe he can step up and score a few points in 2015.

    While the easy answer is to go for all Merecedes chassis and engine line ups, TART are going for a gamble. Maybe the team may end up down the field, but hope this brave decision will pay off.

    The chassis will this season be designed by Ferrari, while the team keep the Mercedes engine.

    Gutierrez will join as the 3rd driver unless he gets a drive in Manor 2.

    The line up is similar to Henners F1 Racing, but will differentiate by having Spa as their bonus round.

    team boss Steveaki13 said: "We are happy enough with our 2015 line up. We had hoped to employ Mercedes chassis & engine plus Hamilton and Rosberg but at 96 million it was slightly over our price range. However Kimi is going to show everyone this season he hasn't lost his ice, while Marcus will finally make a splash. The engine is mighty again for 2015 and our new Ferrari chassis is a gamble based on testing times. He who dares wins."

    We announce today that we intend to make our announcement soon on a team for the 2015 FGP season.

    Delays are caused by trying to scrape the money together, and this time waiting to see what TART and others come up with.

    It appears there is much not in the way of sensible choices this year, so most of the teams are looking very similar. This should at least ensure a very close title fight, which we hope to be in the thick of this time.

    We are seriously considering finally wising up and dumping McLaren, who ruined our first 2 seasons in the sport. But you just know if we do, they will come good by the Spanish GP and be the 2nd best team from then on, at good value.

    As for drivers, we are thinking of possibly letting go of Kevin Magnussen, especially now he won't be actually in F1 (much) this year. We took heed of the saying "fortune favours the brave", but we've never got anything for our bravery except rubbish results and mediocrity. After much agonising, we decided against signing Daniel Ricciardo for just £1M more - and wouldn't you know it, he turned out to be the find of the season.

    At least we didn't make the biggest facepalm of all - that went to certain others who thought it would be a good move to dump Valtteri Bottas, who we had the foresight to hire, for Maldonado! (I kinda feel bad for not saying something about that at the time).

    We are in a race with the real Manor team to see who can announce their line-up last, since we have learned from last year and resisted announcing our team early before testing.

    Watch this space...
    Shut up and post your team already!
