Trade ya - Webber for Cosworths
Quote:
I hope they can pull this off, for Mark, Minardi's and Jaguars sake. Personally, I'd pay more for a development driver like Webber over Irvine. Lets face it, Webber has given Eddie a hurry up in many races this year, in a Minardi. |

Good grief!! It seems the big spending days at Jaguar with an unending supply of money and extravagance is finally over. However, Paul Stoddart must remember that Niki can always hire Bernoldi if money is tight.
Or McNish (who finds that teams are talking to him), Salo (if he can be tempted out of retirement, or Jos, Wurz, Gene, Badoer, ...... Sooner or later, Niki must accept that if he wants Mark, then he must trade horses. |

Niki just doesn't want to explain next year to Ford why both his cars keep getting beaten by Bryan Herta and Justin Wilson in the Minardis...

I think Stoddart is nuts to assume Lauda would give him Cosworth engines for Webber. Webber is good but he isent THAT good and there is no reason for Nikki Lauda to bend over backwards in order to put Webber in the Jaguar.
Irvine and Del-a-rosa can easily get the job done providing Nikki gives them the equiptment to do so. |

Webber will eventually sign for Jaguar but Stoddart had better pull his head in.

Irvine is well overpaid now and has already stated this would be his final season anyway. PDLR has achieved mediocre results ever since he joined. They need a proven test drive, a young driver and someone who is prepared to wring the neck of the car - in Webber they have all three. |

With the news that Ford are supplying Jordan next year, would they actually be in a position to supply three teams with engines and at what cost?
