They absolutely need to keep hold of Glock...
And they policy of doing development with CFD only it seems they may be the only ones staying back. News about them very quiet indeed.
If the budget cap had stayed CFD only would of been cheaper and would of meant more money for elsewhere for the team.

Did I miss something here? I thought the budget cap (of 45m Euro) started next season, has that changed?

I don't agree. Their CFD-only approach has worked out reasonably well, when you consider that they're close to the pace of the Lotus car and have out-qualified them in some events. Obviously, next year will be the real test, but for a first year that was a huge gamble and I think it turned out quite well. I like it when designers and engineers are adventurous, which is why I have such respect for Newey. Always pushing the envelope.

I can't really remember where I read it so if someone can provide links even better, but as I recall the budget cap was going to be a thing that would be done slowly but steadily, meaning next year there won't be budget cap.
If someone knows any better I'll be glad to know too.
Formula one teams have agreed a budget cap for operational spending in 2011 and beyond, according to an Italian media report.
Earlier this week, we reported that team bosses discussed the so-called Resource Restriction Agreement in Singapore last weekend.
There are signs that, despite the cost-cutting pact negotiated at the end of the 2009 political war, some teams - notably the new and independent ones - are still struggling financially.
Italy's Autosprint reports that a new operational budget limit was therefore agreed within the FOTA group, with engine and transmission costs not included.
The report said teams may no longer spend any more than EUR 20 million each on operational elements, while team staff numbers have been capped at 415.
can anyone say "moving goalposts?" Personally I would like to see the budget cap implemented to level the playing field a little while relaxing rules on engines and aero to let the teams develop whatever they want within reason as long as it comes in under budget!See our F1 related articles too!
