F1: New Team Called "DuPont F1" To Fill HRT Space? (http://whatculture.com/sport/f1-new-team-called-dupont-f1-to-fill-hrt-space.php)

[D-Type]

The announcement, if you can call it that, does seem to have surfaced suspiciously close to today (April 1st)

[truefan72]

Formula 1 - New F1 team set to be revealed - Yahoo! Eurosport UK (http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/formula-1-gv-new-f1-team-set-revealed-094654197.html)

if this is an April Fools...then they got me!

But if it is for real

I'm thinking Orange is the telecom partner
toyota as the car manufacturer
and a former F1 champ can only mean Schumi (highly unlikely) or Villeneuve ( quite odd IMO)
but lets hop its for real, then I can get giddy again
and we need 2 new teams please!

sadly, this looks like a hoax

only Eurosport is running this story. A quick scour of a dozen other reputable F1 sites shows nothing

oh well :(

Edit: most definitely a hoax lol

a quick read of their website should be enough for anyone to see
Lol, europsort got duped,
so much for vetting a story before posting it
or was it intentional as part of their April fools :rolleyes:

Its a book written by Julia Wurz for sale on Amazon,

I smelled a rat not just when it appeared on the Autosport site on April Fools' Day, but from the fact they labelled it as part of their "Grapevine" section on "lighter" news - a new F1 team would surely command more attention than that.
