If there is no sale of Honda...

[Conceptual]

Can the team sell the car's IP to FIF1, or maybe any other team that may want to take it apart, and incorporate and advantages that are available?

I really want to SEE the RA109! Maybe if Fry would release some studio photos, that a potential buyer will step up?

...there will be balaclavas on the house.
But seriously, I have this funny feeling now that Max and Bernie are up to something in order not to lose face here, when 18 cars could be an embarasment. If the cars are already built and the Honda engines are there anyway, Bernie might find a way to "forward" some money if others are prepared to do the same?

I can see the team being badged as something before the season starts.

I can see the Honda Drive Train and KERS system being in the cars.

Max and Bernie will be up to something. Im shure it will be some Russian Oligark or a Middle Easter Sheik or a European Manufacturer that takes over. I have a feeling it will be the latter.

The thing is that the team will have to find at least 3 major sponsors and at leas 6 smaller ones to get to Oz, and thru the season, id say that arround $150-$200Million will do for the season.

I can see it being a untested car or a car that only has had 2-3 test days under its belt making it.

How does a F1Technical team sound? Let's all chip in 100 bucks and buy the damn team. I'm sure we'll be able to find better sponsorship than what these guys want. Sure, we'll be backmarkers, but I think we'll be some of the most innovative. We will get it wrong more times than not, but that will be fun nonetheless.

I'll put in 10k usd if we can get 10,000 other people to do so!

I would be all over that, but with our funding, we may have to teach the drivers to do their own pit stops, and stow them away on a freight truck, since we couldnt afford them either...

As long as I get access to the complete world-feed, Ill be a happy investor!

If you buy the team I'll race for free With everyone here I'm sure we could build a car that exploits every possible loop hole in the rules

I want to be the owner who punches his drivers when they DNF.
