You have to finish 13th or better to get to 18th. So you'd likely be relying on half the grid retiring.

As always, the top 6 drivers pre-qualified. I simply forgot to set the font colour to red for the last 5.

After much deliberation, and since the FIA has assured us budgets will increase, BMW is pleased to announce it will be continuing in Formula 1 next year. It will be an Inline-4 design once again, dubbed the M15, or internally known as the PDBTOT (Please Don't Ban This One Too). We would like to continue with McLaren if they are interested, and would like to offer Boro semi-works status for next year, to replace Shadow, who has announced it's departure. If Project-4 wishes to continue we would be pleased to work with them again. Anyone, except for Kaushen, Oscella, or Shadow, is welcome.

All that being said, since the FIA refuses to establish a solid timeline for the stability of these new rules, BMW can only promise to stick around as long as the rules don't change every other year to balance performance. That being said, if the FIA commits to a rules freeze, we will commit to F1 for the same length of time.

We have one final, upgraded design for this season, but we will wait a bit to see if it is truly necessary, as we would prefer to save the money for next season.

I think it's safe to say that the new rules formula hurts us more than it does BMW, as I feel our success is more down to our chassis' than the BMW powerplants. We already had the best car in the field when BMW arrived in 1979, and that hasn't changed. You can say Shadow has benefited greatly from them - their upturn in fortunes occurred right when they acquired BMW power, but that is also down the the change in team management that happened around the same time. They've done a fantastic job in maximizing their opportunities, a job which I feel BMW is unfairly dismissing, especially when their results are being crippled by suffering the brunt of reliability issues with the engine. The same is true of Project 4. And before anyone says anything about Boro, need I remind you all that Monaco is the least taxing track on engines?

This is not to dismiss the job that BMW is done, but I feel they are far too quick to pat themselves on the back when it isn't warranted. When the new chassis formula was proposed, we didn't have a problem with it at all. We could easily have said that it was an attempt to cripple us, but we didn't, because what's good for McLaren isn't necessarily good for the sport as a whole. We accept this - however it doesn't seem that BMW holds the same opinion, unfortunately. When the engine regulations were updated, we were very happy with them as they were, but BMW saw only a threat to their perceived status as the best engine and railed hard against it. Well, that is an attitude I do not appreciate. That childish tantrum, coupled with their self-congratulatory nature, and their willingness to engage in meaningless arguments with teams that simply don't matter, are all unacceptable to me, and I won't have McLaren's name dragged through the mud simply because BMW isn't happy. After that, it was simply a question of whether or not McLaren could acquire their facilities to make our own in-house engines - a question which unfortunately has been answered in the negative.

If BMW, however, change their mind, we are still very interested in buying their engine facilities, but aside from that, we have no desire to ever work with them again.

McLaren is open to all offers for engine contracts, however, we currently have a preference for working with Matra and Ferrari. Please send all offers to me by PM. McLaren will also spend 600k on reliability.

We are a bit falling behind, which was expected. 400k on ground effect and 200k on reliability is what we believe the last upgrade for Arrows in 1980. We hope this will secure our second position in the championship, which is our main goal at the moment.

While this is certainly disappointing, it was expected. We have enjoyed working with McLaren these past few seasons, and we know that no matter what engine they have next year they will dominate. Despite what others have said, we know full well (and mentioned it upon signing in fact) that we were lucky to have such a good chassis to mate our engine to, it aided our development exponentially. Sad that these new rules have broken up what could have been the most dominant pairing in F1 history, but so it goes.

All that said, we will stay in F1 next year, build a new motor to these new regs ( whatever they are since the rules still aren't out yet) if for no other reason than this game has everything: an invincible hero (McLaren), a whiney girl type (Oscella), a Judas (Shadow), a plucky underdog, (Wolf, Boro, Kaushen) and a "What!" Type surprise (March). Everything except, a bad guy. A pompous star to just rile things up. We will (continue to) be that arse. Although, perhaps that is why we are being legislated against?

Either way, we will build a new motor and see if it's true that "if you build it, they will come" or if no one wants it, leave F1 as the only company to go undefeated championship wise. Win-win really.

Matra Press Department wrote:We at Matra are very pleased to hear that Mclaren is thinking about signing with us. By now we are not able to name any prices because of the rule change but as soon as we know we'll hand in an offer. Brabham is supposed to be a factory team next year and we have the capabilities to sign a second factory team. Since it isn't shure if Williams will continue with us this slot remains empty for now.

Frank Williams wrote:Actually i don't know what the guys at Matra are talking about. I can't remember that we said anything negative about our engine supplier, although we had some difficulties with them. With regards to next season we are open to negotiate with different manufacturers. If the price and the performance is good we are willed to sign no matter which company. The only thing we already know is that we won't go for a non turbo engine as we think that turbo engines are miles ahead.
