My apologies for posting about relevant matter to this thread
Joe Saward's latest green notebook includes mention that he's heard from a good source that GM has bought the IP to the Renault 2026 PU. Maybe someone from GM was reading this thread? |

Well, we can always jump back off topic at any time!
Quote:
Also in his article, he calls out that the team is not for sale now. Which aligns with comments Luca de Meo has said. Joe says that after 2026 however it might be sold to the highest bidder. And I think that also makes sense given 2026 will be under the new Concorde agreement which should see the high value locked in (maybe even increased) with high entry costs for a new team. See my earlier comments (post from the 10th) about de Meo treating the team as an investment vs. a racing team. Unrelated to Alpine, it is interesting that there is the potential that Sauber/Audi could be bought. That there seems to remain consistent doubt as to commitment by VW. He spins a tail of sale to unnamed Qatari entity due to Qatari having 17% ownership in VW, but I think that is a stretch. Porsche family owns controlling interest in VW and I expect if they want to be in F1 they will be in F1. And any potential sale will be to appropriate bidder regardless if it is related to Qatari instrest in VW or not. Richard |

English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France. And Chinese gooseberries aren’t from China. Sweetmeats are sweet while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? Should we say ‘scone’ as ‘own’ or as ‘gone’? Why do we refer to a pair of spectacles or of trousers when there is only one? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Why do people recite in a play and play in a recital? Ship by lorry and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? A house burns up as it burns down, you fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm goes off by going on. When stars are out, they are visible, but when lights are out they are invisible. I was taught ‘i before e except after c’. So why do I write Neil, neither, deity, science and cierge? If a piano player is a pianist, is a racing car driver a racist? Why do we talk about a ‘building’ when it has already been built? |

1. The bandage was wound around the wound.
2. The farm was used to produce produce. 3. The bin was so full that I had to refuse more refuse. 4. We must polish the Polish furniture. 5. The soldier decided to desert his company in the desert after eating his dessert. 6. I decided to present the presentation. 7. A bass was painted on the side of the bass drum. 8. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 9. I did not object to being given that object. 10. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 11. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 12. They were too close to the door to close it. 13. The buck does funny things when the does are present. 14. A seamstress and a sewer fell into the sewer. 15. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 16. The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 17. After a number of injections, my jaw got number. 18. Upon seeing the tear in the painting, I shed a tear. 19. I love to read; I read a great book recently. 20. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 21. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend who, to some people, is a fiend? 22. I looked at a strange orange. 23. She took a break for breakfast. 24. I met her here, where we usually meet, but neither Neil nor Mary turned up. 25. Although I made a thorough search through the rough by the lough, I couldn’t find my golf ball, as it had landed on the bough of a tree. It was so cold that day that I developed a cough with hiccoughs and so I bought some medicine. |

Well researched CRM. I only mentioned Slow-it as it's fairly close by.
You can always tell when there is a long break in F1. |
