Or would they just go down the Cosworth route and force teams without engines to use them?  I do not know.  I was really tired when I wrote that post last night.  Not been sleeping well lately  :lazy: 

I would ideally prefer a Mercedes engine in any car at the moment, they are so much better than the rest. 

I'm not sure that Cosworth could supply everyone if Renault pull out, anyway most existing teams would cry foul if they are forced to use Cosworth as two big engine suppliers will have left and Merc has indicated it could supply more teams.

On the question of your insomnia I can only sympathise.

-  Oh and I hope that you can negotiate immunity with the FIA like Piquet for whatever you have been been up to. You know you can tell us all here on GPwiz, as long as it involves a juicy story about a big name - we all need cheering up!  :DD :DD

Sadly I've got no dirt on anyone who is on Max's hitlist, so the FIA rejected my attempts to negotiate immunity for any future offenses I commit.  Maybe Wiz is a bit more lenient and I can get immunity here.  Does he have a hit list?  Perhaps I am on it  >:D

You're right about Cosworth, I tend to think in the worst case scenario when it comes to the FIA lately.  Whatever you think is the worst, it is rarely bad enough!! 

Interesting to read Mercedes said today they have the capacity to provide more engines should they get permission to and the need arise.

I'm not sure I'd call them "two big engine suppliers." At the time of their exits, both Honda and BMW were supplying only their own team.

I wonder if there's any chance that an independent could pick up the BMW (or Renault, if they leave) engine and put it back into production. It's been done before.
