TOny Fernandes has stepped down as Caterham team boss and a replacement from within F1 has been found and confirmed but not announced yet. Wonder who it will be and if they can do anything good with the team?

[Munter]

It's not Sam is it?..!

[DanDC5]

For their sakes I hope not.

[woof]

No surprise really.
He lost his interest in F1 a while ago.

Holy st !!!! That would be a turn up for the books

Ha ha! well Flavio sold QPR to Fernandes so they have dealt with each other before - and the secret squirrel nature of the announcement makes me think it has to be potentially controversial.

I could be miles off - but thats my thinking

Isn't he at Marussia - having to work as a consultant due to his punishment for 'Crashgate'?

[Rouleur]

His punishment is nearly over.

I thought Flavio was "Banned for life" after the whole singapore cheating thing..

It will be interesting to see who the replacement will be..

[DanB7290]

Might he just be handing the reins over to Mike Gascoyne?

Yep Flav is banned for an indefinite amount of time - can't see that being lifted. It was pretty damming:

“As regards Mr Briatore, the World Motor Sport Council declares that, for an unlimited period, the FIA does not intend to sanction any International Event, Championship, Cup, Trophy, Challenge or Series involving Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever, or grant any license to any Team or other entity engaging Mr. Briatore in any capacity whatsoever,” a

Wasn't that ban was overturned in 2010?

Schumacher to reunite with Eddie Jordan?

Or Danny Bahar is at a loose end.

Or Dave Richards...

I didn't see that but yr spot on. But who in their right mind would hire Flav. It's basically a red rag to the FIA bull?!

I bet it's Flav !

I read that as Danny Baker is at a loose end

[minghis]

Dave Richards.

But you didn't hear it from me, right?

[TheArchitect]

Flav had his banned turned over in court. Could be interesting!
