McLaren are interested in hiring John Watson as well as giving Guillame Gauthier a chance to prove his worth in F1 in the team's second car.
My friend's USB drive spoiled, spilled tea on her laptop and had a bird poo in her hand.
What did she do in her past life to deserve this?

You can have Gauthier, but Watson's already been taken by AdrianSutil and the Shadow team.

I am blind.
Anyway,McLaren would like to bring in Gilles Villeneuve back in from Scuderia Ferrari to be their lead driver.
Also,will this season have that bathplugging awful points system in which the year is practically split into half?

Sorry WaffleCat, Gilles has been dibbed by JeremyMcClean in the F1RWSOGMM Thread. And no, the points system will be 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1, and all results will count for the championship.

Wolf will sign that James Hunt fellow who's got bored with McLaren as their first driver.
American hotshot Davey Clarke will be signed as second driver.

Well, Alfa Romeo will hire Alain Prost for the second seat and have 1976 Indianapolis 500 winner Roberto Horford (Italian-American, driving under Italian license) as their number one driver.

Ooh, I already like this series. I'll take Rebaque. Of course, Hector Rebaque will drive one of the cars but I will give the second seat to Marc Surer.

Re: F1RGP79C - By popular(ish) demand
WaffleCat, Lowenbrau enquire as to whether they can become title sponsor of McLaren (see Long Beach 1979) for the entire season?

Also, BlindCaveSalamander and Ferrarist, can you please name your second drivers.

Merzario has secured title sponsorship from Sardinian oil refining company Saras S.p.A. for the 1979 season. The extra cash injection will secure both cars racing in every grand prix for the season, ending fears rookie Guidetti would be forced to sit out parts of the season with lack of finance.

I will enter using Ferrari. Gilles Villeneuve and Jody Scheckter are the drivers. I will take control of Villeneuve, if it is ok.

You will have to ask EastLondoner because he controls Wolf and Hunt. Clay Regazzoni is free though

Suit yourself.
Ferrari will now sign Rene Arnoux. Regazzoni might be a good option but I believe his days are running down...

And there's plenty more teams avalaible so don't be afraid to sign up!
Apologies, been out for the day having just sat the second of my three final year exams!

Harvey Jones is British, and in case it isn't painfully obvious, he's the father of one infamous Sammy Jones!
Also, if it's possible, I'd like to enter a privateer FW06 for gentleman driver Marshall Jenkins (again British).

Privateers are not allowed so that at every race there isn't a hundred people trying to qualify. You can enter a team of FW06s if you'd like

in the first case, i'll enter 2 lotus', driver 1: Lammers, driver 2 would be the one and only Gianfranco Brancatelli
