It has been going around on a lot of websites that prodrive has nabbed the 12th spot and that Paul stoddart has confirmed that he did not get the spot, so it looks like david richards is the winner
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?

Alesi: Yes.
then he added: "next year"! (don't know how to interpret this, probably just because we'll see Direxiv do private testing.)
If Prodrive is the choosen team, then how to explain that
Everything would become clear if (for instance) Super Aguri were withdrawing in the end of 2007 or even sooner.
don't think SA will withdraw so soon, they had a very big disadvatage and they're trying to reduce the gap. I think it would be more likely that midland left f1
