That's the old Jaguar team -- they build their own chasis and fit them with Cosworth engines (Ford). I just saw a rumor that they've signed up with Honda for next year's engines.

I think Honda should concentrate more on Bar-Honda winning and be in top form instead of supplying a second team with an engine since that would divert some resources into the second team. Unless Honda want to use the information like what Ferrari does to Sauber-Petronas.

I think to stay in the game Honda needs to try something different, and maybe this will shake out to be a good thing. I like the fact that they might get another team involved as I'm highly suspect of BAR; in otherwords if Red Bull/Honda started performing better that BAR/Honda I would not be at all surprised...

SPEED changed their service in this area over the winter. People who have the older version dish, the huge lawn ornaments, can no longer pick up the signal. So for those who have a great working system they have to turn right around and buy a new system just to get SPEED this year.

Every team is required to make thier own chassis. They can't buy one from another team, it's agianst the rules.

Red Bull gets thier engine from Cosworth, who used to be owned by Ford, but they sold Cosworth to the guys who own the Champ Car series.

Cosworth has a long history of making racing engines, I'm glad to see them get out from under Ford.

The crew at Red Bull are mostly the same guys who were there when they were Jaguar.

I think it's funny that they were a good team when they were Stewart Racing, then Ford bought them and they sucked, then Ford sold them and, at the first race at least, they are a good team again.

It's pretty much the same story for Cosworth, So I am glad Ford sold all thier F1 holdings.

That sucks. Cox in San Diego has SPEED as a basic cable station.
