Which goes completely against Addertons (self professed) 'modus operandi' of prefering to support individuals rather than teams. (Yes he did not do that at GRM but I guess he gets round that with he was supporting the drivers ... they just happened to drive for the same team)
Anyway, he just this week said his preference was drivers in the way he is backing Courtney at Tickford and Kostecki and Erebus.... and has pledged to back Feeney if needed (the implication was if Feeney did not get the Whincup gig he would find a car for him.)
I dont think he wants to be a secondary backer of a team as would be if he replaced Ampol at T888. Im just of that opinion because of what he has said this week. Of course with Adderton, what he says this week is not always the same as what he might say the following week / month (with all respects to a bloke who at least dips his hand in his pocket)
