So the manufacturer teams are going to offer technical assistance to the 3 new teams...wonder how that'll go, and what form it will be in?

There seem to be evidence that USF1 has a contract with Cosworth. I see no reason for them to break that and would expect them to show up with Cosworth on the grid.

I expect them with Cosworth also and this little titbit I picked up today - Euskadi were rumored to be tied in with Penske US and missed out on a F1 berth......

Speaking of Penske, wonder if there is any rule preventing Ilmor from producing an 18k engine for a new team?

If they don't exist then why have such a professional looking website;

http://www.ilmor.co.uk/

If they paid the hosting fees ahead of time, the site would remain, until someone took it down. If the business is in foreclosure or bankruptcy, all assets (including website) could be seized, so nobody is doing anything about it.

That being said, the last update appears to be 15 May 2009, so anything that's happened must have happened since then, if at all.

They also could have failed under previous ownership, and have already been bought up by someone else.

Who knows?

It seems that Ilmor was the part of the company bought by Mercedes related to Indycar engines. It was bought by Mario Illien and Penske in 2005, so its a separate entity from Merc HPE.

Pipex that was my understanding also its owned by Penske - Epsilon Euskadi were rumored to be tied in with Penske which I guess makes sense given the size of the Penske operation and USF1 or whatever they will be called do need a Euro base - who knows what will happen with Mosely now looking like he will run again its just b/s at the moment at this stage you would have to think there will be no new teams in 2010

Wait and see is probably the best to do. FOTA have said that they are committed to bringing in new teams and support them in exchange for the lifting of the two tier rule. They will have something in mind and we will learn in due time if the teams want us to know.

WB, when you seem to be the one most updated on rules and regulations at this point, if, hypothetically of course, Ilmor decided to supply USGPE or whatever with engines for 2010, will there be a limit as to how much they can charge?
