Next Year

[Knock-on]

Alan

I am a little concerned about who is and is not signing for next year.

Some teams seem to have dropped out and others moved on but I have heard precious little about replacements.

Last year was such a great competitive year that I had hoped would be built on this year.

I appreciate that there may be contractual issues going on but can you let us know how it's looking? Hopefully I'm just being pessamistic for no reason. :)

Apart from Proton and Varta, I'm not aware of any teams that have "dropped out or moved on"....quite the opposite actually.

At around this time last year, other than Vauxhall, Seat and Proton, I don't think anyone else had publicly confirmed their entry.

It is some 5 months or so until the new season starts and it takes quite some time for teams to put their programs into place.

Thus I honestly have no idea why you would feel pessimistic.
