Prodrive the 12th?
Rueters have reported that the 12 team that will be entering the F1 championsip is likely to be the Prodrive team.
"We have heard rumours of letters flying around but we have been told that the formal announcement will come next Friday and we await that with bated breath," David Richards said. However Paul Stodard has gone on record as saying "We got a 'not at this time but stay in touch' sort of letter," he added that he thought the Prodrive team was the front runner for the last position, but added "It's not over until the fat lady sings and they (the manufacturers, governing body and Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone) have got to get through a very interesting round of negotiations yet,".
So if the GPMA members or even a subset of them decide that a decision cannot be reached some of the other teams that applied may just get a chance.
