Virgin rules out signing Piquet

 

Formula 1 sponsor Virgin has dismissed any suggestion that it could play a part in helping Nelson Piquet back to the sport - after rumours that the Brazilian could be on the shortlist for the new Manor Grand Prix team.

 

Virgin is set to take title sponsorship of Manor for the start of next season and comments made by team owner John Booth about Piquet were interpreted by some to suggest that the Brazilian could make an F1 comeback with the new team.

 

However, Alex Tai, the Virgin board member responsible for group sponsorship who is set to become team boss when the lifestyle brand confirms its involvement with Manor, made it clear in Singapore on Friday that his company would never be associated with a driver who had broken the rules.

 

Speaking to AUTOSPORT in the paddock, Tai said he was not in a position to confirm Virgin's future relationship with Manor ? but said that Piquet could never be associated with the brand.

 

"We will make our plans known after the end of the season," said Tai. "I don't believe it is professional to in any way talk about our plans while we are sponsoring another team this year, namely Brawn - who happen to be leading both championships and who I personally believe will win the championships.

 

"However, what I can say, is that as a director of the main board of Virgin, I can assure you that we would never have anybody in a team sponsored by us who cheats."

Va a finire che la Virgin non sar? nemmeno il prox sponsor.... :)

Manor ? una diretta emanazione di Mosley, e Piquet gli ha fatto un favore...

Comunque a Piquet conviene lasciar perdere con la F1, almeno per il 2010.

[Osrevinu 34]

Solo paparino pu? dare un posto a Pippiquet, quale altro team manager se lo mette in casa col rischio che se lo tratti male va dalla FIA e svela le magagne?

Un team manager 'amico' della FIA (come in Manor appunto).

Rumours: Pro Drive compra la Renault F1?

David Richards linked with Renault buyout

 

As Renault assesses the damage to its image and counts the fleeing sponsors, David Richards has entered the frame as the crash-gate scandal rolls on.

 

Media reports, including by the German news agency SID as well as the British broadcaster BBC, claim the Prodrive and Aston Martin chief Richards may be waiting in the wings to take over the French squad.

 

BBC claimed that the Briton, who was team principal for a time in the Benetton days at the end of the 90s, may be willing to buy the team for US $50m. SID meanwhile said that the 57-year-old met recently with Renault SA CEO Carlos Ghosn at the Frankfurt motor show, and also visited the team's British headquarters.

 

Taking over from the ousted and banned former team boss Flavio Briatore as of this weekend as managing director is Jean-Francois Caubet, previously Renault's communications and marketing chief. He admitted in Singapore that Renault had erred during the Briatore reign in steadily losing "the Renault culture".

 

"We don't want to make the same mistakes that have come about by letting the team have 100% autonomy," said Caubet.

 

He would not comment on speculation that the current new management structure, with Bob Bell the acting team boss, is merely a stepping stone to Alain Prost taking up the job full time.

 

"I have no comment to make on the names that have been put forward," said Caubet.

"We will look for someone when the responsibilities of the role have been finalised. That could be in December or in January."

 

He also insisted that Renault is not shaping up to simply walk away from the sport, despite the damage inflicted by the crash-gate scandal.

 

"During these last few weeks, when we accepted that we were guilty, we have had two decisions to take. Either we would not cross the fire or we would. We finished by crossing," he explained.

 

"We came out heavily burnt, this is true, and the image of the team has been hurt. We have had very bad coverage in the world's press for the last two weeks, but we have crossed the fire and we are going ahead.

 

"Today it's business as usual without asking questions. We are nevertheless still in a difficult situation as ING has departed, sponsorship and finances are difficult, and there are decisions over the business model of F1 in the longer term.

 

"These are serious questions which we must address and find answers," Caubet added.

E' da quando non c'? pi? la BAR che Richards dice di voler tornare in F1, e almeno un paio di volte al mese sta per acquistare un team diverso...

Che bello sapere che ci sia un team che capisce poco-nulla di piloti

Un team che prende in considerazione la possibilit? di ingaggiare un cheater ? da considerarsi a priori un team che ammette la truffa come metodo di lavoro.

Spero che lo sponsor detti legge in questo caso.

No solo la Manor. Il contratto con la Brawn GP era per un solo anno.

Il principale sponsor della Renault, l?ING, ha annunciato nella tarda serata di giovedi' di aver cancellato, con ?effetto immediato?, il suo contratto col team francese. Poche ore dopo l?annuncio che l?assicurazione spagnola Mutua Madrilena non avra' piu' i propri logo sulla R29, la banca olandese ING ha deciso di terminare la sua associazione con la Renault a causa dello scandalo di Singapore 2008.

 

Entrambi gli sponsor avrebbero citato una violazione grave e manifesta del contratto, a causa di alcune clausole secondo le quali il team di Enstone deve seguire le regole e i regolamenti della FIA.

 

?L?ING e' profondamente delusa per il corso degli eventi, soprattutto nel contesto di una sponsorizzazione di successo,? si legge in un comunicato stampa rilasciato giovedi' sera.

 

Le dichiarazioni sono arrivate nella tarda serata di giovedi' a Singapore, dopo che i meccanici del team avevano gia' lavorato per l?intera giornata sulle vetture con la livrea dell?ING.

 

Tutto l?equipaggio della squadra, cosi' come l?abbigliamento del personale e dei piloti, usualmente porta il marchio dell?ING durante il giovedi', il giorno che precedono le prime prove libere dei gran premio.

 

Sia l?ING che la Mutua Madrilena avevano gia' deciso previamente di non restare in F1 il prossimo anno.
