However, with just 2 years to launch we can't see them finding too much time to influence the replacement greatly. But who knows what they'll come up with. Cue the Viper Scuderia et al...

Fits with the info that's been provided in the press Conference, re-jig it for 2012, future after that under consideration... After the previous info that we've seen I'm reading this all in a positive light!
