I guess you mean the F1 team. I think they mean the road car side.

Well, it is in the motorsport forum

I would expect that the road car side could well be floated but the F1 team will be kept nice and private.

That, over time, the Road car side might aquire spin off companies specialising in 3-4 yearold F1 tec that has road car is another consideration.

Until foreigners take over both companies and start arguing about who has the right to use the name in F1 ?
