Some intersting bits on this....dubious.....outfit
Remember Campos? i was doomed even before they had a chassis. It became a mess, then it became Hispania, run under strange circumstances and it never was genuinly clear whom did what. All that was clear was it was a complete mess and they managed to have a half-built chassis with outdated inferior materials, and 2 drivers whose careers were ruined the day they agreed to jump into this train of lies, and how 'quaint' that from all people,
Colin Kolles was involved.
Caterham seems to be a near-carbon copy of what happened to HRT, it just took them more time. And guess who is a part of Caterham? Colin Kolles.
What treat are we in for? yes, another bunch of hicks paired with dubious investors and fundings in the form of Forza Rossa, and oh my oh my who's involved? yes, Colin Kolles, surprise, surprise. Ye ol' blackmailin' dentist.
All the dirty friends come at play;
Constantin Cojocar. former footballer has a chunk in Caterham's misery.
What did he achieve? sitting @ a closed warehouse with a discared caterham F1 car.
he's a friggin' CLEANER. Literal.
a washed-up ex-footballer whom has failed at businesses.
Cojocar " "I left Romania because I had financial difficulties there. I had bills to pay...... I had no money and nobody wanted to help me.....The only one who really helped me was George Becali (the owner of Steaua Bucharest
who is currently in prison)"
Cojocar found a job as a general cleaner at the Caterham F1 team.
"an owner here at Caterham recognised me as a former football player. He told me: “It’s absurd for you to clean the floors, you are a known footballer. From now on you are a director here!” And I was appointed as executive director at Caterham Sports Ltd.”"
"I represent the interests of Kolles, he offered me this chance"
" Cojocar’s legal documents contained some fascinating hints at a wider plot, he claims it was his intention for CSL to design and build the cars for the new Colin Kolles ‘advised’ Forza Rossa Racing team.
So it's becoming more interesting and more interesting.
Guess who has been buddies with Colin Kolles? Christian Albers. He did his teeth (no kidding) once, actually. Not that that's so important, but Christian drove for Colin Kolles when it was Midland/Spyker. And who was suddenly appointed and foundhimself at the operations of Caterham? Christian Albers.
What happened under Christian's 'reign'?
Updates for a caterham F1 car that essentially was heading for it's demise anyway, while the company maintained in deer financial troubles. How can you explain developing a new nose when you kick out 40 employees and leave them and others without salary?
Ravetto's statement:
"The new front wing and car updates are delivering more aero performance, we delivered that. Technically talking we have delivered an almost new car since Spa, it does not even look like the --- box they started the year with"
What does this all add up to?
Colin' Kolles and his buddies are abusing the Caterham outfit in order to have a 2015 Forza Rossa car. Expect the updated Caterham to be painted Red and labeled a Forza Rossa.
“’If a financially acceptable arrangement cannot be agreed between the administrators and the Caterham F1 Team the administrators will then enter into dialogue with other interested parties with regard to a sale of the business and assets of the Company.”
Kolles and friends are deliberately driving the price down themselves so they themselves can aquire the remnants of Caterham, better said, the car and grid entry, for their Forza Rossa project.
As if you don't have enough misery and seriously dubious figures, add another one to the list
Ion Bazac. a Romanian physician and politician,
chairman of the board of Forza Rossa, Ferrari's representative in Romaniam, and currently Health Minister.
Cojacar, the cleaner-now-boss@caterham said:
"Forza Rossa is looking at other possible arrangements for 2015 and I have found it very difficult to contact
my backers in Romania,"
Which backers? Cojacar is a friggin cleaner which has zero friends in Romania that support him/back him. So either way, he's telling a lie.
so what do we in the end have?
A cesspit of dubious people doing dubious things which are directly involved with the demise and unfit running of atleast 2 F1 teams that fumbled.
It's genuinly shamefull and degrading for F1.
