embarking on such an expensive up-grade and Ferrari engine contract/naming rights at a time when they had no money and had made huge losses in previous seasons. Last season looked like they were just getting things undercontrol and 2008/09 should have been a stabilising period. At the anouncement many people questioned the viability of this, however it was finacially guaranteed by TT. Also the cost of the deal struck with Ferrari at that point was keep fairly quiet. It is the lack of money which has caused all A1GP's problem. Late season start, late cars and teams, missing teams/cars, lack of calander dates and lack of media coverage.
