I could see Aljofree and McGovern changing tires in the pitlane next season.

With it being his team, it is entirely up to him who he has as "sponsors" right?
Will he make the car red and white?

Id be suprised if they were accepted considering their competition for the spare grid slots. Good luck to him though

They say the team would have to start their operation from scratch should they be granted entry.
I wonder where they would have their factory? It would be good if Fitton used local companies such as Retrac Composites/Productions for some of its engineering work. More work for the town can only be a good thing at the mo.

Looks like there are one or two of the new applicants that are guaranteed a place, I can't see them turning down Prodrive (ie Aston Martin) and Lola are probably a good bet. Other than that it looks pretty wide open for the 3rd new place available. But you never know with F1, they could easily select totally random teams or increase the number of places.
Wonder where Fitton would be getting the money from. I'm sure the new teams will get a good chunk of money back from advertising and prize money but I'd have thought you still need a fair wedge of cash to get involved. No doubt he's got a plan, doesn't seem like the kind of person to piss his money away.
I reckon it would be good news for the club, it sure as hell won't do it any damage.

He'l probably get some form of sponsorship money prior to the season,with the rest of the sponsorship/advertising money coming throughout the F1 season. With the sponsors and deals he has done so far at STFC theres a high probability he'l do some top notch business and get a company like apple to advertise. Afterall, there is alot of dosh floating around F1 thesedays. |

He owns it but how much involvement will he really have?

Most motorsport work in the UK tends to be in the Northamptonshire area. I'd expect them to locate there. |
