brawn and force india may well be with out engines

McLaren would have a change of ownership. Daimler AG owns 40% of the McLaren Group. Given the Global Financial Elephant, Daimler AG could very well sell their interests but the problem is to who?

Also, given that Ferrari also threatened to quit last October, I'm wondering what sort of messages are being sent to the FIA? With Ferrari, Mercedes, Toyota and Renault, all threatening to quit, it doesn't leave very many entities left. Do I have a sniff of a £30m revolution in the air?
