Having considered the various options, the FIA confirms that it is not possible for a replacement team to be entered for the championship at this late stage." http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2010/3/10484.html Perhaps they'll go back to the original plan of testing younger drivers on behalf of the established teams throughout 2010... providing they can get hold of some tyres.

It's like someone fluent in English has written it and made it entirely characterless. :( Something's gone wrong with their news section.

So much going on, i really hope they make it, just for the bizarre story as much as anything, even if they are 5 seconds off the pace!

It also might be that Toyota may have tried to do what they did to Williams here and said Kazuki is part of the engine deal. To which SGP replied: "Fine, but we need more money so you'll have to give us some" then Toyota said "On second thoughts, put who you want in the second seat, we'd rather you found your own source of income". Possible. It might be that Nakajima was the original plan before Jacques expressed an interest.

But the article tells us that EJ says the second driver will be 'a pay driver'. We already know who the second driver will be- Kazuki Nakajima. I believe that Badger said Nakajima was going to drive for Stefan a few weeks ago. Not sure why the BBC haven't mentioned this. He is, and it looks like Jacques will sign for them.

USF1 want to defer their entry until 2011, so Stefan's entry, and JV's return, depends on whether the FIA allow that. If they do Stefan are finished, if they don't we may see them. It's looking unlikely though. Jacques got a son now, maybe 2, so it wont be long before we get Villeneuve part 3 in F1.
