While watching the F1 race just held in Montreal, I saw the Renault powered Caterham spin out & heard the commentary of how dismal that team had performed this year. That made me wonder about the joint Alpine venture. Now I know. I don't think Caterham has the funds to do these kind of projects.

The unfortunate thing about all of this, is that for Tony F, the F1 team only made sense as a way of branding his global car company. A global car company needs street cars, not just Sevens. To make these street cars, he needed a partner like Renault.

 

No partner...no street cars. No street cars... not enough reason to spend millions on F1.

 

The leaked memo a few weeks ago said it was all for sale. This was later spun into an "investment offering."
