[情報] Williams拒絕加入GPMA

GPMA set to lose Williams

  The 'breakaway' threat in formula one may be about to fizzle out. Reports
in the British press suggest that Sir Frank Williams, boss of the team set
to split with German carmaker BMW at the end of the season, refused to sign
an agreement in Munich last week.

  The news indicates that Williams does not support the so-called 'GPMA'
group, and - with the inevitable Red Bull-fuelled Minardi defection from
the carmakers' side - could tip the balance in Bernie Ecclestone's 'Concorde'
 favour.

  With Williams and Minardi on side, Bernie's 2008 teams would number five
-- half of pitlane, including the most evocative name of all, Ferrari.

  London's 'Times' newspaper speculated that the fiercely independent Sir
Frank and team co-owner Patrick Head have been won over with a Bernie-funded
$50 million sweetener.

  And the sport's 74-year-old 'supremo' revealed that 50 per cent more cash
for 2008 and beyond is on the table for any team. "And they know I mean it
," Ecclestone added.

  The Briton said: "It's up to them to decide if they can do a better job
(of running a grand prix series) and take that risk."

    簡單地說，輪椅老怪跟山豬老大因為和BMW鬧翻了外加白髮老怪給了5000萬美金
的甜頭後，拒絕簽約加入五大車廠主導要跟F1打對台的GPMA ()

    同時白髮老怪也放話說2008年將有50趴以上的現金等著各車隊來分贓 「他們應
該明白我的意思」 「要在既有的賽事嘗甜頭還是要冒險，全看他們了」Orz

    套句Eddie Jordan的話：Cash is king Orz

    又，這段"London's 'Times' newspaper speculated that the fiercely
independent Sir Frank and team co-owner Patrick Head have been won over
with a Bernie-funded$50 million sweetener."，我覺得泰晤士報有故意在諷刺
Williams的味道 XD
