the Brawn GP kinda weed.

At first you aren't sure the stuff's any good, cause it seems like the old stuff just repackaged, then you take a few hits and are like damn!

After a while you realize this stuff is unearthly, or maybe it benefited from some illegal advantages, like growing wild in the sequoia mountains, before you know it, folks are calling it the shait.

that's what were smokin' ;)

Ofcourse you got a good point.

But think of it. Just Like Honda last year, Toyota could have spending millions and millions on this car, they did that for sure.

And then, it´s not even competing this year.

It´s a great shame.

At the beginning of the last season they were podium contenders.

This car could be a winning concept!!!

Definately worth a bet though, and it would be a shame for it to go to waste whether its another mid field runner or not.. :)

You got one moore point.

And think of it. Stefan GP probably got the cars for only some few bucks!

This might shed some more light on the battle Stefan would face to be ready for Bahrain:

Quote:

Sources say that one Toyota/Stefan chassis is ready in Cologne, but the second is not yet complete, and a total lack of spares back-up will make the early races difficult, to say the least. Not surprisingly Stefan has not been in a hurry to encourage Toyota to build a lot of spares until the entry is confirmed.

The engine will not be badged as a Toyota, although the company will send a handful of fulltime staff members to races to support it. They are likely to be the only current Toyota employees to travel to the races with Stefan.

Another thought: the new teams were told they had to use Cosworth engines as part of the selection process. How would Stefan get away with bowling up with Toyotas?

I'll go on the record and say I don't believe Stefan will be granted an entry this year in their own right. Their only way in would be to buy or merge with an existing team.

I'm not sure I believe that story.

From all others stories and news out there, it seems Toyota is in fact working with Stefan GP in terms of supplying spare parts, technical assistance etc.

they'd be fine now - Toyota are no longer part of FOTA and Max is no longer around to stick his oar in. but like i mentioned elsewhere there is no way Ferrari will let them anywhere near the grid as long as a certain Mr Coughlan is involved

Ferrari will have no say in this matter and i don't think have brought that issue up anywhere. They know the nature of the situation and if they were so adamant about purging anyone from that situation, would not have signed Alonso to the team or objected to PDLR driving for Sauber since both were central to that case in one form or another ;)

Anyway, that is wholly outside the purview of their say or influence.

I think I've found out where Ferrari's PR department used to work: :p

StefanGP would like to inform the public that the containers we sent on the beginning of February arrived in Bahrain. In the corner of the page you will see official check from DHL and the confirmation that freight arrived. During next week we will show our Stefan Formula 1 car to the press as the final evidence that should put us on the grid in Bahrain.

If case we don’t receive the chance to compete in Bahrain, and also when some of the teams fail to show up, somebody should be in a trouble explaining what is happen to all of us.

And dreamers from USA will have to explain their actions, because they are deliberately weakening F1 with dreaming of perfect world and fairytales about success. And success doesn’t come by talking but with hard work and lot of guts.
