Ok, Nakajima I can see as he apparently will continue to work for them. Are they just trying to make sure Nico cleans out his desk?

Why would Brawn's reluctance to make their announcement prompt Williams to hold Nico up? I can understand Brawn's reasoning for waiting because of the Button talks, but Williams should just let the guy go!!

The BBC website is reporting that Renault held an emergency board meeting to decide it's future participation in F1. No deceision has yet been realased.

Great...keep us posted cdnfan. That would be horrible...not only the team but engine supply

I think they'll be in for 2010, but not beyond that. Standby while I consult the 8 Ball.

8 Ball says Renault will "absolutely" be on the grid for 2010, will "definitely" be on the grid for 2011, but for 2012, "outlook not so good." The Magic 8 Ball has spoken.

Hope the 8 ball is right gridgirl. Check out jamesallenonf1.com some interesting comments

Wow..we are still in for a rollercoaster. Thanks gridgirl and cdnfan for info..threadmates are what make this forum so fun, entertaining and informational for me...

Will do. Hey do any of you guys know how to get my avatar up on there when I post? I've chosen my photo a ton of times and it never gets on!

Williams has always been a Tight A** Stickler for the "letter of the Law" and contracts. Look at the Sauber situation. he figures they are paid until January,so they are his.He doesn't like to share.
Bernie is making sense. Better to race and do the testing on a separate race day..like Monday or Thursday. They can run young drivers on those days and maybe even fridays as well,in a 3rd car,which they have on hand at races anyway.Cheaper than seaprate testing venues,with separtae test teams etc etc. Also more "fan value" . I like it.

As for the Canada GP. I am starting to think that it won't happen. Also may be a major contributing factor to Toyota's pullout decision. I think they were promised a N.A. race this year and 2 for next year,including at least one in the USA.

Less important to Renault,unless they are planning a return to N.A. soon. They may be??

What is with the FIA delaying talks with Sauber until after they speak to Toyota's legal team? What do they expect? That they will get scared back into the fold?

when you figure it out Grid girl.Let us know..I have had the same problem.
Has Coulthard been speeking to Villeneuve? Maybe he also wants his son to see him race "live". These guys should just give it up and let the young bulls bet their chance.
