Also on Autosport. What's a mere £900 million between friends, eh?

How wonderfully rejectful. I can only hope the FIA tosses them Andrea Moda-style.

Yes because the one thing F1 absolutely needs is less cars, right?

Everything's great.

I didn't think it was possible to miss a joke as badly as you did, but well done.
But I suppose you thought all the posts about Mclaren bringing back JDD for Monaco were serious too?

I'm not sure what I'm more astounded by - the fact that there was a joke hidden in that original post (I still can't see it, by the way - so you might want to work on your delivery there), or that you decided making a ridiculous nonsensical comparison was the correct way to admonish me for not getting it. But I think we've successfully derailed this topic enough so I'll leave it there.

Well the sarcasm was pretty thick on both posts, but t may be hard to pick up via text. But as you say, we have Amtraked this enough.

I do remember reading when Kingfisher shut down he had many accounts and other assets frozen, but he's still running FI and they are moderately successful (4th in the WCC) so no money issues there. Plus he's quasi-living in London, and that ain't cheap.

This whole development surrounding Mallya reminds much more of former Leyton House-March boss Akira Akagi's arrest back in the day than it does Andrea Moda.
