Meyer Shank have gone over to Ganassi.

Kinda like Gene Haas selling off and closing down much of his NASCAR operation, but none of the returns seem to have been diverted to the F1 operations. Of course, that hasn't stopped most F1 mavens and "cheerleaders" from pontificating otherwise...

Completely different in almost every way. Andretti is moving to Chevy engines in Indycar (logical, given the relationship that has developed out of the F1 entry bid) and Meyer Shank (which is committed to Honda) has therefore ended the relationship with Andretti and hooked up with Ganassi. All makes sense.

The Stewart-Haas selloff isn't a change of engines or manufacturer, it is a case of getting out of NASCAR completely and dissolving the partnership, selling the franchises. Personally I think that Tony Stewart has other priorities in his life now and the same can probably be said for Gene Haas.

Haas is in fact now investing more into his F1 operation but who knows if any NASCAR sale proceeds are contributing to that - but there does seem to be a higher focus on F1 and I suspect that selling off the NASCAR operation would probably assist with that.

It was to be a total sell off but Haas has decided to keep one Cup car franchise and will run a two car Xfinity series team as well. So keeping a finger in the NASCAR pie but the partnership with Tony Stewart is dissolved and most of the NASCAR Cup operation is sold off.

Thanks mate, yeah, I'd read that but couldn't find a reference to it when I wrote that post. Cheers

So any idea what's gonna happen with those whole congress investigation into F1's treatment of Andretti? Not sure how far it will get
