Good evening folks,

In an unprecendented move this evening, FIA and FOTA issued the following joint communique:

"When we saw a thread concerning biofuel on the itv forum, we decided to take immediate action to preserve our sanity; protect the wellbeing of our sport and its fans and ensure that F1 continues to operate at the cutting edge of global motorsport.

"It has been decided that a new additional independent team be admitted to the F1 Championship in 2010 to run solely on biofuel consisting of waste oil and other regulated frying matter provided by a range of fish and chip shops. In the spirit of conciliation which we wish to see enhanced for the coming years; the new team will consist of F1's most experienced players in the seafood serving field.

" Chief Codfather, (or arrogant bass, ahem!) Max Moseley added that he had concerns about a biofuel powered mobile chippie thundering round the streets of Monaco; but that Prince Albert had been pacified by the assurance that only a beef dripping derivative would be used at Monte Carlo. Other circuits would be able to fine tune the appropriate compound for maximum performance.

"The main players in this new 2010 Prawn GP team will be Ross Prawn himself, Nick Fry and Craig Pollock.  Scrutinising that all is above board on the newly christened "chippie run" will be Charlie Whiting - and on TV, due to the uncertaintly about Jonathon Legard's future, Max has decided to do away with commentary and have Jake Humpback doing sign language - which will also benefit the hard of herring.

Max continued; "Sush(k)imi Raikkodfillet had been a contender for the number one seat but slipped through the net - I can now confirm that another fin (sic) Hakey Ovenlining will lead the driver pairing. Rubens Barracuda and Shark Webber are in contention for the number two berth but Jenson "deep fried button mushrooms" is probably moving to the rival Harry Ramsden F1GP outfit; currently rumoured to be testing the propulsion qualities of deep fried pizza, with Ferrari."

Codfather Max concluded: "Thanks to the feedback from the forum, we are now in an even stronger position to take the sport forward."  Bernie Ecclestone was heard to mumble "salt and vinegar anyone?"

hahaha  that is brilliant ! 

I hope someone clever will give us a picture of the new car ??

Thanks my dears!

Just heard that Jackie Stalwart has suggested that RBS teams up with Mars to form a Scottish F1 team to be fuelled by detritus from the deep fried variation of their choccy bar. Murray Walker has come up with the marketing slogan - "Propelling our Cars from battering your Mars!" The prototype machine has a double diffuser, a noisy generator, a 6-way gang plug and a multi-frier.

In a shock move within FOTA, Ross Prawn has intimated that their new rival Harry Ramsden F1GP team has received backing from Ferrari. He said "Montelemonsole appears to have further strengthened his hand  by getting this lot to test the Rossogneri's 2010 vehicle."  Prawn added "our engineers have reported that they've rarely heard a sweeter engine note than that which they heard last night as the prototype chippie careered round the east end of London with Greensleeves at full blast!"

This evening Bernie Ecclestone was heard to mumble "I was only following orders.....pickled onion anyone??!"

Brilliant cove, lolol.

I particularly like Murray Walker's slogan, and the chippie careering around east London "with Greensleeves at full blast!"  This thread is so funny.  I do wish one of the clever picture people could give us a photo.

As you can see pedekay, they've disguised most of the sensitive aerodynamic aspects of the car; no exhaust apparent (usually signified by a smoking jerry built chimney on the side of the vehilce). BUT, the surprise revelation here is the confirmation of the new test pairing of Paul Stoddart and Niki Lauda.  No doubt others will be able to shed some light on the possible inclusion of woodchip (as well as potato chip) technology.

After exhaustive secret investigations involving vets, the WWF and face masks, I can also tell you that Red Bull/Tor Rosso are not going to go down the biofuel route with what makes the grass grow green in Texas!!

What a great photo, thanks heaps, cove.

Now that the photos have been leaked, the new technology can't be kept under wraps much longer.  Expect to see secretive figures searching through the bins outside chippies, looking for clues.

You're very welcome pedekay - indeed it took a bit of guile to get that pic; given Stoddy's reticence for public appearances and Lauda's marketing contract with the Banana Splits!!?

Agree with you about bin bag espionage - watch out for that crafty Italian rascal Flavio Breamandsolay and a few of Ron Dennis' lads from the Mackerel squad doing the rounds of the F1 haddock. Time to put this one to bed I think - see you later!
