That Cat says Goodnight: Jaguar (remember to pronounce it elegantly like them Britishers do) announces the end of their Formula One sponsorship (including backing for engine maker Cosworth) over the cost. Ecclestone says he understands and F1 needs to get cheaper but that the series would be fine with 7/8 teams and 3 cars per team. BMW does not necessarily agree.

Let it first be noted that Ecclestone is a prick. The guy is losing his mind. F1 is in deep, DEEP trouble. Anyway, this news is a shocker. I mean Cosworth is what drove Lotus to so much success. The engine that powered Jim Clark. Not surprised about the Jaguar team so much. There'd been rumours all year. But Cosworth is a real surprise. Minardi and Jordan are in trouble for next year now!:(
