Oh, man initials mess with my head. But I doubt Theissen would take over imo.

It's a simple concept: you take the first letters of the first and last name and put them together in capitals

I know that. But MT could stand for anyone with the same initials!! Thats what messes with my head

FIA re-opens team selection process

The FIA has re-opened the selection procedure for the final place on the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship entry list, in the wake of BMW's announcement that it is withdrawing from the sport at the end of the year.

AUTOSPORT understands that yesterday, FIA president Max Mosley wrote to the seven teams on the 'reserve list' - those under consideration for a place on the grid that did not receive an automatic entry in July - as well as BMW Sauber, to inform them that a place on the grid has become available.

Peter Sauber is still working with BMW to put a rescue package in place for the team he is a 20% partner in, but the Swiss was not able to secure the necessary funding in time to meet last Wednesday's deadline to sign the new Concorde Agreement.

Therefore, while sources suggest that Sauber is making progress to secure the budget to save his eponymous outfit, the FIA is inviting whatever BMW Sauber should become to tender its application alongside the other seven hopefuls selected from the original 15 applications, to pitch for the final place on the grid.

Epsilon Euskadi has already signalled its intention to re-apply, while David Richards' Prodrive outfit is believed still to be interested should the conditions be right to enter F1.

Epsilon Team boss Joan Villadelprat told AUTOSPORT last week: "We are still working on the project, at a much slower rate obviously because we don't have the security [to be on the grid].

"What we can say is that the people who were interested in helping us are still interested, which is something incredible. And if the opportunity arises, we are going to attack it, there's no doubts about it."

Oh dear, disaster for Peter Sauber!

If Peter Sauber can buy the team or find a buyer I think they will still get preference in the selection process since the facilities needed to run an F1 team are already operational for the team.

Surely though, Lola or prodrive were in a better position than the 3 teams selected before them? The FIA are at it again!

Ya I don't know. Lola were a joke in their final season in F1 in 97 and well Prodrive have been indecisive about entering F1 for so many years now.

1997 was a long time ago...!

True but is it any easier now to make a car on the pace compared to 97?

Different people now own lola, they are back to being more professional. Eg. their successful partnership with Aston Martin.

It's more expensive but judging by how close the field is these days, you'd have to say the answer is yes.

This sucks big time

If Peter Sauber can stump up the funds, or if BMW stop pissing about, I think they will be most likely to get the nod. Whilst Epsilon Euskadi and Prodrive are respectable motorsport outfits, Sauber has Formula One pedigree and the facilities required.
