Bernie steps down from the F1 Board...but plans on buying the 'Ring! Hmm...

Not sure if this is a permanent move or if he is just stepping down while he fights the case of bribery he is being accused for.

Only for the duration of the court battle from what I can gather.

Whitmarsh probably out. Somebody has to be the scapegoat when McLaren doesn't score a single podium over a whole year. This guy called Ross Brawn is possibly looking for a new job, and with the partnership with Honda in 2015, it doesn't sound too absurd anymore. Interesting times at Macca for sure.

Apparently the last time McLaren went a season without a podium was 1980 :eek3:

a new report from Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reveals that the team is in the red to the tune of £114 million – equivalent to $186 million at today's conversion rates.

Kimi and third driver Valsecchi still haven't been paid either... :eek4:

Black wheels, black base, looks good!

I like the nose but of course we can't really see the tip from this angle.

If only the Williams would leak some harmless fluids out of the nosecone during each pitstop. Wonder if any teams will go with the circumsized look. :mamoru:

Eric quit Lotus with immediate effect. Rumors are saying he's replacing Whitmarsh :run:
Anyone major still left at Lotus at this point or has everyone left?

And McLaren launched the MP4-29
