I think some of these teams have wealthy benifactors and what needs to be asked is why has A1GP and teams been unable to find commercial partners.

PS Strider the quote you refered to is not mine.

IMO GB has a large pool of talented drivers which they could draw from and be successful(not neccessary to pay large payments to "superstars") unless it attracts the profitable commercial backing. I think Danny is a good choice. Main problem with team seems to be lack of consistency which is probably a result of no finacial resourses and stability.
