  • Thebusinessofmotorsport ECONOMIC NEWS and ANALYSIS from the RACING WORLD
    Contents: 2 November 2009 Doubts over Toyota future Renault for sale? Mercedes and McLaren: divorce German style USF1 confirms Aragon and Stubbs Issue 09.44 Senna signs for Campos New idea in Abu Dhabi Bridgestone to quit F1 at the end of 2010 Tom Wheatcroft A Silverstone deal close Graham Nearn Williams to confirm Barrichello and Hulkenberg this week Vettel in the twilight zone thebusinessofmotorsport ECONOMIC NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE RACING WORLD Doubts over Toyota future Toyota is expected to announce later this week that it will be withdrawing from Formula 1 immediately. The company is believed to have taken the decision after indications in Japan that the automotive markets are not getting any better, Honda having recently announced a 56% drop in earnings in the last quarter, compared to 2008. Prior to that the company was looking at other options, such as selling the team on to someone else. This has now been axed and the company will simply close things down and settle all the necessary contractual commitments as quickly as possible. The news, if confirmed, will be another blow to the manufacturer power in F1 as it will be the third withdrawal by a major car company in 11 months, following in the footsteps of Honda and BMW. There are also doubts about the future of Renault's factory team. The news will also be a blow to the Formula One Teams' Association, although the members have learned that working together produces much better results than trying to take on the authorities alone. It also means that there are now just three manufacturers left: Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault, and engine supply from Cosworth will become essential to ensure there are sufficient engines to go around.

    Bernard Rey, Präsident des ING Renault F1 Team Die Ziele für 2009 Die Saison 2008 hat bestätigt, dass Renault an der Spitze der Königsklasse zu Hause ist. Nach einem enttäuschenden Start in die Saison bündelte das Team alle Kräfte, bewies in der zweiten Saisonhälfte beispiellosen Kampfeswillen und feierte in Singapur und Japan zwei Siege. Diese Ergebnisse unterstreichen den Erfolgshunger des ING Renault F1 Teams, der in der Vorbereitungsphase auf die neue Saison als unerschöpflicher Motivationsquell diente. Unsere beiden Fahrer für 2009 stehen fest und erst jüngst haben wir in neue, hochmoderne Fertigungs- und Entwicklungsstätten investiert – und damit eine deutliche Aussage hinsichtlich unserer Ambitionen für die kommende Saison getätigt: Wir wollen ganz vorne mitfahren und ein Auto auf die Strecke bringen, das um Podiumsplätze und Siege kämpfen kann. Unser Entwicklungsprogramm schreitet stetig voran und wir haben allen Grund, fest an das Erreichen dieser Ziele zu glauben. Wir gehen die neue Saison daher äußerst optimistisch und entschlossen an. Das ING Renault F1 Team ist der lebendige Beweis für die Fähigkeit unseres Konzerns, auch auf höchster Ebene hervorragende Ergebnisse und Erfolge zu feiern. Das Team kann sich daher bei allen Herausforderungen, die in diesem Jahr vor uns liegen, der uneingeschränkten Unterstützung aller Mitarbeiter und Partner sicher sein. Interview mit Flavio Briatore, Geschäftsführender Direktor des ING Renault F1 Teams Wie lautete Ihr Fazit zur Saison 2008, in deren Verlauf dem ING Renault F1 Team ein beeindruckendes Comeback gelang?
