Woah,whoops.One massive brain fade there...
If this championship continues for long enough, you should try signing him for 1991, as by then he would be a German F3 champion which is probably enough for a superlicense.
So how are you going to deal with the Kimi Raikkonen situation if and when that crops up?!

He announced himself to the world last year by recording the fastest birth speed ever recorded, popping out at 120kph. "He bounced around the room a bit, but the umbilical was like a bungee cord and it soon pulled him back to his mum" said Dr. Weinstein of Heppenheim hospital.
We're not really signing him...but you already knew that. Right?

Eurobrun have taken Schnieder and Foitek as our drivers,with speed as our focus as well as taking Pirelli tyres.Lambo engines will be taken in should they be given to us.

Autosport wrote:ONYX PLANS REVEALED for 1989 Stefan Johannson and Pierre-Henri Raphanel have both signed for the start-up squad, sources can reveal. Customer ford engines are also in, along with Goodyear tyres. JJ Lehto is to be signed as test-driver. Onyx team principle Luke Knight said earlier today [1st January 1989] "We have got a strong package heading into the new year. We're a start up team so I'm not expecting miracles, but I fully beleive Stefan and Pierre can get out of the pre-qualifying lottery by mid-season"

How dare you try to replace the original Onyx livery? The blue, white and pink was brilliant

Lamborghini has signed with EuroBrun, they see more potential in this team than in Rial for surprised (i´ve diced it out with 75% for rial and 25% for EuroBrun)

- Ligier, Larrousse and Brabham didn´t test - it seems that they haven´t got their package together! they have to hurry up or they may miss the season-opener!
Autosport wrote:Benetton targetting the front end It's all change at the Benetton squad, with a new team manager in the form of Dennis Robson. With both Thierry Boutsen and Alessandro Nannini moving on to other teams, Riccardo Patrese has been brought in as the lead driver. Partnering him is none other than Martin Brundle, finally recieving his big break in Formula One. Benetton have also become the works Ford team, and will benefit as such by recieving the latest-spec engines before any of the other teams do so. The new normally-aspirated 3.5 litre V8 in the back, coupled to an in-house gearbox, and Pirelli tyres, means that Benetton should be looking to solidify their 3rd place in the championship. The bright Benetton colours will adorn the new B189 model once again.
Rumors that the B189 is behind schedule and will not appear until after that first few races of the season have been shot down by team manager Robson as 'a load of old wool'

According to the new FIA-Qualifcation-Rules, the four fastest TEAMS (in bold) are in the main-qualifying session (have to do it this way cause gp2 don´t allow me an other way) Sadly, Ligier (having no tyre contract signed) isn´t in Brazil, and also Brabham and Larrousse having no cars ready to race (hopefully they have for San Marino, otherwise teams could be sold) - Top 10 Teams from previous season are automatically in main-qualifying.

However, Olivier is massively disappointing for a Formula 3000 champion, and he needs to get a move on if he wants to have any sort of future with the team.

Surely Weidler will DNQ every race, considering they don't have to pre-qualify. I thought he'd have kept an all-German team, especially considering Arnoux was already 40 at the time, and he picked Rial as a sign of patriotism.
Saying that, patriotism's not why I picked Lotus, although that is why I chose to sign Warwick.

I think the driver choices are interesting, I knew at least once pretty good team would go for Moreno, since he along with Alesi is the most loved non-reject on here.
And by decent, I mean Dallara or above. I consider Dallara the 9th best team.
nobody will, cause he is currently a formel könig driver and won´t get a superlicense! keep a little bit the spirit of the game
we are in 1989 and don´t know that there is an upcoming multiple-world-champion, you know what i mean?
