Mark,

Also worth noting is that immediately after the sale was announced the FIA gave the final slot for next season to..... Lotus. Sauber and their new partners are pencilled in at the 14th slot which is a fill in if someone drops out or if the field is officially expanded. Basically, Sauber will not be racing unless someone pulls out or FIA increases to 28 cars- which would also require rewriting the points system etc.

Never a dull moment in F1 politics and nonsense...
