Well, at least this way we're guaranteed the 26-Car Grid we were promised.

Prodrive won't get it because they want to use Mercedes engines and the FIA won't let any new team enter unless they use Cosworth

Well after they get sued by might be force too

or they might do it before they get sued to nulify the court case.

eitherway there corrupt b*stards.

it's crazy, I cant' believe they forced everyone to use Cosworths. who the f*ck are Manor anyway!? no disrespect to them but no way in hell did they come up with a better submission than Lola or Prodrive!

Cos Max wanted em for his friend!

You know how most teams have huge liveried lorries to carry their gear around? I saw a Manor one quite recently - or rather the equivalent - a Ford Transit towing a small closed trailer. Pathetic for an F1 team!

I think the bloke who is trying to sue them might get a surprise and replace BMW, as an out of court matter

Manor are going to dominate the next 10 years of F1

Manor are going to dominate the next 10 years of F1

They're the new Force India:

Worthless name (Though at least it's not as stupid as "Force India"), promising the world every year, and going absolutely nowhere.

You know, like Pre-2003 BAR, or 2007-2008 Honda...

Hmm...I predict that in 2020, Manor (Or what becomes of them) will be leading the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships after Round 10.

I can understand why Mosley has put it back to an open selection process; reserving the place for the former BMW team could result in having two empty grid slots next season. It's entirely possible that no-one will buy BMW Sauber and I am pretty sure that Peter Sauber doesn't want to get back into F1 full time! We'll have 13 teams no matter what!

Yeah I agree plus if there is a buyer found i am sure with their facilities they would be front runners in the selection process anyway.

you would hope so as they are already proven F1 race winners

I do wonder how many of the teams on the reserve list still have active F1 programmes after not being selected to occupy one of the three grid slots? We know for sure Lola won't be selected as they pulled their name off the reserve list after not being given one of the three slots. A decision needs to be made soon as time is fast running out to get a F1 team together! The longer this whole situation drags on the less likely the selected team will actually make it onto the 2010 grid!
