True, work is work after all. However I don't see any male equivalents.

I found it odd that they introduced the women that clap during a period when they were trying to slash costs and trying to promote women in motorsport

Oh, The Horror. They had Moulin Rouge entertainers at the awards ceremony. It could've been worse. Nascar had John Mellencamp perform at their awards show last night.

Did someone seriously just post an E! article in the F1 RDT? Think we've just hit a new low.

I was just kidding Fish, it is a slow period for us F1 fans. So much so that we have to resort to quoting E! to keep up to date with any F1 related topics.

Grahame Chilton has reportedly left Aon and they are said to have canned motorsport sponsorship (source is sport365.fr). I guess that might be curtains for Max's F1 career - can live in hope, anyway

It's possible, especially seeing as Chilton has yet to be confirmed by Marussia.

But Chilton Sr is starting a new venture so perhaps the money will come from there.

If not, it potentially opens the door for Nasr (if he doesn't get the Sauber seat).

Fingers crossed this move will close the door on both Chilton's racing careers. I doubt it though.

I'm not sure I follow you there. Are the Chilton's in some way funding Focus' in the BTCC, or do they own them?

No, they fucked off to WTCC then shut the team down and Tom got a Chevy instead.

I thought they had AON sponsorship even tho Tom buggered off to the WTCC

Or am I 2 years out of date there?

TBH the focus' have hardly been front runners recently, as much as I like them it's hard to picture in my mind what sponsors they've been running.
The nice blue/white livery with giant AON logo sticks in my head though *shrug*

10 years of building credibility has just gone out the window.

Lotus counting on ideas not resources for F1 2014 campaign
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111785

yeah, that worked well for other teams as well. DDD was a Super Aguri Idea and Minardi is said to have pretty decent cars on paper but could never fully utilize it due to lack of money.
But hey, great ideas Lotus!!
