@FormulaMoney

Been busy working on huge news coming up late tonight. One of the biggest @F1 sports stories of the year...

 

Should be after 9pm.

 

It is not Renault.

[Lotusseven]

Interesting ! ...biggest F1 news of the year !! ...what is it ? 

[Mat13]

Bernie to retire! (Wishful thinking)

[Maustinsj]

Alonso to GP2!

[DS27]

Have they identified the people that scored the earlier Grand Prix a 10, and are they going to name and shame them to the public?

[shmoo]

Alonso to GP2!

 

He will feel at home there.

[DampMongoose]

Based on how good F1 has been this year it'll be on the lines of Pastor Maldonado has had a ****.

[Marklar]

Must be "Button to announce his retirement in Sotschi"

[Donkey]

Alonso replacing Raikkonen at Ferrari (Alonso's cycling team buying out Kimi's contract after Ferrari exercised his 2016 option).

 

You heard it hear first.

[Lotusseven]

All will be revealed later. Crucially it's not speculation, but comes directly from one of the stakeholders.

[Nathan]

So Monday morning in Tokyo...??

[superden]

A Honda upgrade is imminent.

Oh, wait ...

[Diablobb81]

Merc set to win the WDC and WCC?

[wj_gibson]

OK, I'll bite.

This kind of thing usually ends up being a load of shite, culminating in an utter non-story.

But...might Honda sack it off?

[JHSingo]

Stefan Grand Prix! Surely this must be their moment.

[Sarkis]

Honda cashing in on Fernando Alonso's remark to supply GP2 next year?

[milestone 11]

Or the pizza man.

[Mat13]

The BBC commentary team have confirmed Verstappen's **** actually does stink?

[rhukkas]

Well to be one of the biggest news stories of the year it hasn't got much competition to beat. Lot's of speculation, but not much hard news.

[garoidb]

Flavio's return (in some guise or other)?

[rhukkas]

Take that back, totally out of order and pure speculation

Can it be Red Bull and Toro Rosso will shutdown after Abu Dhabi ? Didn´t Dr Marko say something about shareholders and the effect of RBR/STR pulling out of F1 this weekend ? 

Soon we know.

[sniper80]

Red Bull gets Mercedes engines, Alonso is 1st driver & Kvyat is sacked. You heard it here first...

My post from that thread still seems accurate:

 

Bernie's discovered the secret to immortality.

 

Or, if it's the typical "big news" story, it'll be something trivial like Ferrari having a new test driver.

It's Sylt & Reid. 

 

So it's quite possible they tell us about the fresh egg Bernie has laid.

[pdac]

Lotus locked out of hospitality for the rest of the season

[4Wheeldrift]

well, if they are deliberate about a F1 sports story then it will be interesting as to what can be big.

 

"Photo under Max Verstappen fireproof overall reveals he is really Alain Prost standing on Nelson Piquet's shoulders?"

It is not Renault.

Formula Money are woeful in the investigation and reportage of their supposedspeciality, F1 finances.

That tweet says they have been working on a "sports" story, so not finance related. Yep...because Formula Money, who are god awful, know something that NOBODY in the paddock knows and would reveal immediately?

What does "working on huge news" even mean? You don't work on news, a thing happens or is identified and the news of it starts flowing. It isn't a book. You don't write a few drafts, edit it, change bits.

What a crock. If "the biggest" thing was there to explode, it would have. Expect nonsense.

[Seanspeed]

So this is coming straight from a stakeholder?

[30ft penguin]

Red Bull will be bought by Renault and receive Mercedes engines?

[jonpollak]

Jp

[quaint]

An owner is a stakeholder, I guess. After the recent tumble, you too can become an owner of the VW Group for just a little over 100 EUR.

Yutaw taw.

Bridgestone in, Pirelli out after Singapore tyres proved to be bespoke for two teams.

Steak ???

Did someone say steak? ?

Okay I'll chip in a serious suggestion, to be generous that Formula Money may have something:

Something major re ownership of Mclaren.

Based on:

* Like bullsh!t did Ron Dennis have flu yesterday. He was locked in a meeting/s about something.
* Not 10 months ago he took Kevin Magnussen to Denmark and made a presentation to several businesses to try and leverage funds both to get Magnussen in the car and wrestle power from Mansour Ojjeh. Today the same Ron LOVES Jenson Button, a guy he was DESPERATE to ditch last season.
* EDIT: To add this bit. Why has the Magnussen camp gone silent? There are no developments AT ALL by near enough October, for a guy who has said he WILL be racing something in 2016?

Let's be smart here, something is going on involving Ron. He's the only F1 figure conspicuous by his absence this weekend, with his return heralding him telling anyone who would listen that yes Button is staying in 2016.

Does. Not. Compute.


It's just my suggestion by the way, I'm trying to guess based on logic and current events what this could be.

I will go with this minus RB getting the Merc engine.

[AustinF1]

Flavio's return (in some guise or other)?

Hmmm...this could have legs.

[Pete_f1]

McLaren are being bought out by a major company.

[AustinF1]

This might not be too far off either.

[jimjimjeroo]

This thread is already more interesting than the race!

[Cloxxki]

It would be something if Alonso just had to make the call to Ferrari and seal the deal this way - "I'll drive it for free!". Less far fetched than some other stuff.

If I were Red Bull I'd make a fairer bid for Enstone, offer a guarantee to the tax office. Just because. Having one sets of cards extra in the game. To withdraw if not treated royally. You wanted 18 cars for 2016? Try marketing F1 with 16 cars. Oh and we're not selling any of these teams, they're for our breakaway series. Nanananana!

Edited by Cloxxki, 27 September 2015 - 19:16.

[Mat13]

Got to be Red Bull related, in the highly unlikely event that it isn't bollocks. I'm guessing Ferrari engines, considering the media's tendency to overstate news to 'big news'.

[Gilles4Ever]

When there is actually news start a topic about it but this is nothing.
