"Ross will lead the operation, while Nick Fry - to the disappointment of some - will also be involved, although most likely in a more junior role this time."

Mallya approved Mercedes Honda deal

Force India boss Vijay Mallya has revealed that he had to approve Mercedes-Benz being allowed to supply Honda Racing with engines for this year.
Formula One's regulations do not allow a car manufacturer to supply engines to more than two teams without the full consent of the FIA. That regulation meant that in theory Mallya could have blocked the moves to share his 2009 engine supplier with another team other than McLaren.
However, speaking at Jerez on Monday, Mallya said he decided not to kick up a fuss because it was in the interests of the sport that Honda Racing were given the chance for survival.

Has Mallya replaced Max?

Has Mallya replaced Max?

No reason for him to refuse. 50% more technical feedback and testing.

Autosport are reporting that Barrichello looks set to partner Button once again:

Rubens Barrichello will extend his record as the most experienced Formula One driver in history this year, autosport.com has learned, after agreeing a deal to race for the soon-to-be-renamed Honda Racing outfit.

Although it is understood that a final contract has not yet been signed, high level sources close to the Brackley-based team have confirmed that the veteran Brazilian has been given the nod to line up alongside Jenson Button in 2009.

Well, they have a bit less than 4 weeks.

They'll be at the back of the grid surely, but hopefully they will produce something that's at least respectably close to the rest.
