Default I'd say he has a good shot.

Not like he's a freshly minted billionaire who just wanted to buy a toy F1 team.

Yeah, but it all hinges on sponsorship. If he can take care of that, the team should do well.

Default I don't think there's anything wrong with either driver.

The car is just a joke.

It's kind of strange that he did not conclude a deal with Ferrari for motors.

Default I don't either - Ross and Rubens certainly have a great working

relationship from the years at Ferrari. I wish them all well.
