I think the Caterham facilities would be a good base for the new F1 team that is rumoured to be Forza Rossa.

Ofcourse there is now rule about how many drivers a F1 team can use during the season. Its the teams sole decision. HRT used a lot of drivers during the season.

Lets hope so, because Marcus Ericsson is not up for the task he wasn't in GP2 and isn't now.

Maybe Narain Karthikeyan will make a return.

Why do the F1 media put out news 'a consortium has bought', cant these lazy assed idiots find out who the consortium is before putting out the news?

Are you referring to Kolles business practices, I've definitely heard negative things in that regard, but at the same time, the man is a true racer through and through.

yeah the business ethics, and the fact he still owes money to certain people doesn't make him the most reliable or trustworthy person, however I will agree he is a racer and might just give the team a kick up the rear?

... replacing Cyril Abiteboul who will leave the team to pursue new challenges
The corporate speak around these things ..... One sometimes wonders what these
new challenges
really are. A new job already lined up ? a number of likely possibilities of which one is almost certain to work ? the choices around how to use a substantial payoff ? the depression of staring unemployment in the face ? the challenge of resisting the urge to throw yourself under a bus ? I don't know the man or his abilities, but I wish him well, and likewise any others displaced.

Albers as a team principal? That's quite the career switch that early in your life. I hope he is a better team principal than he was a driver.

They can fill out the facts as and when they get them, but the media like to break a story before their immediate competitors do. I was working on the presses for the nights both Whitney Houston & Micheal Jackson died. The Editorial team had no other information about either of them aside that their deaths had been announced (Jacko by TMZ, Houston by her manager) so a quick article was made for both of them that said a lot without any real substance as they had to get those stories on the news stands, it'd be commercial suicide not to. Obviously my example is on a much bigger scale than the Caterham consortium but for Autosport, PlanetF1, TheJudge13, F1Fanatic, Motorsport etc it's a big deal for them to each beat the other to announce anything. :)
