The Caterham F1 Team is launching the #RefuelCaterhamF1 project today in order to help the team to go racing in Abu Dhabi "and hopefully beyond". The team reports it will reward fans with their presence on the grid at Abu Dhabi.
Again, because MrE has obligations to the race organizers to present 22 cars, besides it looks bad to lose a team mid-season.Cam wrote:Then why keep the doors open at all?
