Red Bull can consider a deal with Cosworth all they like, doesn't mean anything. I considered buying a new Playstation at the weekend, but I didn't

i prefer an enginer that might not be as good but being able to run 2 drivers not a driver and a half.

and you can bet your ass that williams wont be last next year.

i understand that everyone loves to hate williams the chin fanbois hate williams because they wouldnt let him test a 2009 car.

and the bmw fanbois hate them because they are not allowing a 14th slot on the grid but most of you are hypocrits because this is a bussines. would you allow a new partner in your bussines to get in for free effectively redducing your income to a point you might not be able to fulfill your commitments?

everybody says how williams is dissapearing and still honda and bmw are gone while williams is still competing.

I´m none of the above, I can´t stand the chin, I think bmw were quite pathetic the way they handled their last 2 seasons and the stupid way they left without securing a place for the team... but we have a team ready to be part of the championship and they are blocked because the Williams boys reached the conclusion it´s easier to keep them out then to build a faster car. That´s the reason they left FOTA, they didn´t mind fighting in crippled F1 as long as they got what they wanted.... but maybe you are right... and the government of India is right... and FA is right... F1 is not a sport, not anymore

Word on the street is Cosworth are in a big mess. They haven't employed any new staff since getting rid of just about everybody when they left f1. The Northampton base is like a ghost town, with nobody there having a clue what they're doing, there is hardly anybody there that has any experience with F1 whatsoever. They'd better try and re-hire all the old staff or they might run it from the US side.

I remember seeing, very recently, an advert on the Autosport Jobs site, listing a vast number of positions they were recruiting for.

Presumably there will be staff being laid off from the BMW engine department, as well as potentially Toyota and Renault downsizing since it looks like they will both loose their customer teams?

I can't imagine Williams would have signed up with Cosworth unless they were pretty sure everything was running well.........

Probably by something close to 100%.

I'm afraid that Williams is starting to look like the original Team Lotus at the end of 1993. :(

We have had umpteen posters saying the Cosworth engines are crap.
There has been only one poster who does appear to have some real knowledge.
I hope he is wrong.
In the meantime I am hoping that Cosworth have developed a reasonable engine.
An engine used several years ago could now be very viable with proper developmnt.
Being a very old fart I remember how much the DFV was developed.

Since 2006 Cosworth has committed itself to engineering consultancy and component manufacture for an increasingly diverse customer base, including OEM automotive, aerospace, defence and aftermarket sectors. The company is AS9100 and ISO9001 accredited, therefore enabling it to operate in the most demanding and safety critical environments. Current publicised projects range from an 80cc diesel engine for unmanned aerial vehicles, through to an engineering partnership on one of the world's most powerful normally aspirated road car engines. Participation in world class competition continues, with hardware and consultancy support being applied to 2009 entrants in World Touring Car Championship, Formula One and a variety of GT and sportscar series.
A mainstay of the company's aftermarket product line is its Ford inline-4 Duratec program. Cosworth has broadened this range to supply complete high performance Subaru EJ25 engines and components for Subaru Impreza, as well as components for Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Nissan vehicles with the VQ35 engine. The company is also a specialist piston supplier, designing and manufacturing forged pistons for road and race vehicles from vintage and classic era's through to leading edge designs for Superbike, World Touring Car, and Formula One.

will all teams run cosworth or could we see rebadged engines
Mitsubishi Nissan Subaru Ford ?
