    Thanks for the link.

    Wouldn't it be a bit weird to have the engine supplied by some other manufacturer!?

    Aston can return because of the 2009 F1 rule that mandates a ride along mechanic.

    Hmmm... it would be quite damaging to the brand wouldn't it if it's back marker F1 team. Then again, they can't expect to come in and be competitive straight away!

    So what should they do!?

    Well, in the last 20 years has any team other than Ferrari, McLaren, Renault or Williams won a F1 race?

    A ride-along mechanic would be no help in 2009, since most reliability problems on modern cars are caused be electronics, and not mechanical parts.
