this is a tatt!




there has been speculation that you are the latest iteration of a former member Tamburello who keeps sneaking back on the forum after his banishment, no offense intended

Taburello did not have such an atrocious english on him as that one.

So it looks like Haas are looking to partner with Dallara to build the chassis.

"We're going to have to beg, borrow or steal whatever we can to arrive at that first race and compete.

"It's a tough decision and something we're going to have to figure out in the next few weeks.

"It won't be easy but if we say we're going to be there in 2015 that's what we'll do.

"But we'll learn and figure it out and eventually the car will evolve into our own.

"We can beat the Europeans at their own game.

Although an engine manufacturer for the Haas Formula is yet to be decided, Team Principal Gunther Steiner confirmed that talks have taken place with Mercedes ad Ferrari.

Reading the comment above doesn't quite fill me with confidence. HRT all over again?

So with the news about Caterham being sold I was wondering what the situation was for new teams into 2015.

I mean originally we had 2 new teams announced for a potential 26 cars.

The 22 now, plus 2 Haas cars and a Romanian team with Kolles?

Well now Haas is aiming at 2016. So thats 24 but then Kolles is now advising the new owners of Caterham?

So do we think it will just been the 22 cars of 2014 again in 2015 and then 24 in 2016. Or will the Romanian team have a chance?

Seems like so little news or security on these entrants considering the professional level of F1 these days.

And maybe I've missed the rundown, but other than McLaren, who else will be running Hondas next year? Any word or speculation on that yet???

As far as I know its just Mclaren.

This is what seems to be the current situation. Please correct if I have it wrong.

Mercedes - Mercedes
Red Bull - Renault
Williams - Mercedes
Force India - Mercedes
Mclaren - Honda
Ferrari - Ferrari
Toro Rosso - TBA
Lotus - Mercedes
Sauber - Ferrari
Marussia - TBA
Caterham - Renault

I would love to see Marussia or the Caterham (whatever they become) team take a gamble on Honda Engines.

I mean surely Honda would be keen to supply another team so may do them a good deal and from Marussia/Caterham's perspective it may just throw a double six, if Honda produce a great Engine.

Of course there is a potential new team in 2015? Which could use them and Haas team in 2016, but they seem to be heading for Ferrari.

[steveaki13]

Just been looking around and it appears the two new teams are still theoretically on course.

Forza Rossa Racing - The Romanian entry looking at 2015 or 2016.
Haas Formula 1 - The American entry looking at 2016.


I wonder actually if either of these will make it.

Why does F1 only seem to want 24 cars rather than 26?

I mean originally they seemed to want one new team for 2015 to make 24, but excepted two as both seemed viable.

I really hope one makes it in 2015 and we have 24 cars and Haas make it in 2016 and we can manage 26 cars

If you look closely the Haas logo is on the lower side pod of the Ferrari cars as of the British GP. By all accounts it's a done deal, and it appears that Haas will work in a partnership with Ferrari similar to the Toro Rosso/RB teams.

And mark my words, Danica Patrick is almost sure to be involved in the car in some way, due to the draw she has. I doubt she'll drive the thing, but crazier things have happened!

Team Banana?


Why won't someone (like Kia) give me team Banana?
