And it looks like its ended already:

Their bid seems to have been accepted. Spyker might be rebranded too with the name disappearing from the sport. At least the new bidder looks like he intends to invest some money in the team.

I don't think Spyker did a bad job with all things considered. Their cars are far closer to the front running teams than Jordan were towards the end and that was on a very limited budget.

jeez... can they stay with the same name for more than 1 season?

But happy to see it wasn't sold to another already involved manufacturer

welcome back Narain Karthekayin (sp?) and hello Delhi GP 2009?

hope this can bring about a period of stability, hopefully this will be just a change of head, but the rest of the team will stay unchanged as they seem to be improving and have proved themselves as capable independents this year, if only fighting at the back
