Do you think Bupa will stump up the cash to have Pink and Betty in a 'find the healthier you' advertisement?

Dear AMG,

Yours,

Betty

Seriously, with the results this weekend, brand new engine or not, shouldn't SVG be the last thing on their minds?

But with COTF the cars are all the same,
so if they had him driving they would have got 2 poles and a win,

I've no idea whether the Stones gave any indication to Shane they were going to sell the team to Erebus before he signed for 3 years. If it wasn't something Shane was aware of, the deal he was heading into for 2013 was definately not going to be the same as the one he signed on for.

May be the question that SVG asked prior was can you give me a car that will finish the first three or seven races above about 10th place?
Never heard of AMC magazine are they an AMG publication.

I think the main thing we're getting from this thread is that we don't know what the contract says, whether it's enforceable, why he actually left, what led up to him going and whether any of that prevents him from driving for another team now.

I think I'm going to suggest this is now best left for the legal teams to sort out as speculation on here is going round in circles with the occasional insulting comments about Mr van Gisburgen. No real problem there, you're entitled to that opinion and I can understand how it's arrived at.

Time to close this thread, I think, since he's now very clearly unquit. Other news on the matter will go into the appropriate threads and such time as there actually is any.

Boy Betty, you are controversial, and you wear your heart on your sleeve, but you are so far off the mark there you are nuts.

Sure Ross Stone stayed around, and kept the REC under his ownership so it didn't invalidate Shane's actual contract, but I agree 100% with what Shane has said that the way Betty was going about it was a basket case of an idea. Prodrive tried engines out of the UK... You just can't do it.

Big accusations to make and absolutely zero merit. Not a whit.

Reckon Betty is right.

Great driver. Not a great person

Yeah, because he hasn't been proven 100% correct in the years since has he?

Everybody, absolutely everybody knew those Mercs weren't going to be competitive for at least 2 years. If you signed on to drive for a championship winning team for experienced and proven owners, then it was switched to new, unproven cars with new, inexperienced owners, would you stick around?

I suppose everyone else who broke contracts and left at short notice once she took over, is sexist too?

An answer to your question might be to ask just how many employees that were with Stone Brothers Racing, are still with the Erebus equipe?

And other than 3M & CorpIT, which commercial partners have survived the transition from the full-house SBR, to the plug & play Erebus

She didn't say he was sly, she said the reason he left is because he was sexist.

Trust me, if Ross Stone had a sex change and nothing else, SvG would not have left...
