We're generally a humble bunch here at Fuel Interjected, but, we just thought we'd point out that we called this one in September: RenaultF1 will go up for sale, according to sources quoted in Autocar Magazine. What's better is that they will be better for it. Rumor has it that Prodrive is interested in purchasing the team with the help of Luxembourgish investors. Prodrive is, of course, the home company for David Richards, formerly Team Principal of the BAR-Honda team and the Subaru WRC team, before that. BAR-Honda enjoyed their best years when Richards was involved. If there is anyone who can put together a good operation, it will be him. Then again, F1 seems to be like the later seasons of 90210: is there a recognizable member of the original cast in the bunch? How could a high school show become about anything other than that? Is it even entertaining anymore?
