So with Prodrive decisively dropping F1 plans, who will become 12th team in F1?

F1 fans have been waiting to see 12th team on the grid for a while, but that doesn't seem to happen (before 2002 there were huge hopes too, but these disappeared too...)

I can't understand. Since early 2006 it has been clear that from 2008 onwards it would be possible to use customer chassis (hence ~10 teams contested to join F1)... and now right before the start of the season it suddenly turns out that this is not possible?!?! How is such misunderstanding possible?

Now with the requirement of constructing your own chassis probably rarely anyone of those 10 teams, who were competing for that 12th slot, is interested in joining F1 any more. How much longer does it take before we finally see 12th team in reality, not just as a possilibity?
