It can be announced that Aki's Racing Team is splitting with last season's sponsor Hedgehog Gutter Brush. The sponsor is in financial trouble and may end up in its own gutter.
Therefore it can also be announced that for the 2015 FGP season the new title sponser will be Twix
Making the official team name Twix's Aki's Racing Team or TART for short :p
The teams line up will be announced tomorrow as originally Stated.
FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM STATEMENT
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. :mad:
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. :mad:
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.
