It's nice to see twelve teams back on the grid. The only thing I'm weary about is that both Honda and Red Bull will be backing two teams each. But if its all really only about money... ahmm... I guess it is all about money, nevermind.

Aside from the fact that Stoddy would have to reassemble the proper infrastructure I'm sure if he weren't such a s**t disturber he'd get a slot. I really would like to see Stoddy back. He's a right, straight bloke in my books.

No problem, no need to apologize.

What I'm saying about Mosley is based on his constant cock-ups that repeat year after year, completely opposite to what he said his changes will bring so I consider him as worst amateur than any of us. He is just strong holder who made his own little kingdom out of FIA. No one doing any job would keep it after so many cock-ups. Mosley is just FIA employee - not businessman like Bernie who has the right to do whatever he likes with his business. Unfortunately, Mosley acts as he own FIA while in fact he is just an employee. That is so typical for any dictator - instead of understanding his job as service to people he represents, guys like him turn it into domination over those people.

Just take a look at last 3 tears. In 2004 he changes tyre regs to improve safety and to cut costs for 2005 and in 2005 safety is decreased and 3 small teams forced to exit F1 (Jordan, BAR, Minardi). Than for 2006 he denies all he has said and done with regs for 2005 and changes them back to 2004 tyre regs and introduces V8 to reduce costs and slow down cars. What happens in 2006? Cars are faster than in 2005 and safety is decreased.

So, what has he achieved? Has he done his job right? Does he deserve to stay one minute longer at his position? Would any company owner keep such employee?

Besides Prodrive and Jordan, plus the publicly admitted entries from Japanese group Direxiv, Paul Stoddart's Minardi, Trevor Carlin's AMT Promotions and Alfonso de Orleans' BCN Competicion, the five other outfits were Baram F1 (headed by ex-BAR boss Craig Pollock), ALK Group, North Western, Filmty Interactive and Luxrace Tech.
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?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
