I see that Sauber, Lotus and Force India had a meeting to discuss the F1 agenda of the big teams. They are wanting a more equitable division of the F1 money pot otherwise, so they say, the smaller teams (them) will be forced out. There was even a rumour that they would not race in Austin in protest. That threat was, apparently, dropped due to the damage done to F1 in the States following the 2005 Indy fiasco.

I am not a betting man, but I would not put money on them being at Abu Dhabi.

Adrian did well though so at least Sauber qualified in the top ten.

I think they will be there until the end of the season. Lotus I am not so sure about. But to me Lotus has Flavio Briatore's DNA running through it, and as I can't stand Eric Bouiller either I am not much fussed. Caterham should still be Lotus as far as I am concerned. Just someone, somewhere give Grosjean a drive next year.

But Force India and Sauber have to be there and I think they will
