All interventions coming from the automotive world (especially from F.1 gurus) ended in tragicomical failures. Maybe Audi's approach won't followed those famous disasters but german traditional arrogance doesn't bode too all to avoid it.

My take? Motogp's Ducatis are going nowhere... fast!

Lol. Put Casey on it and it would either be parked in the kitty litter or parked in the garage cost he's got tummy ache. It would be funny if we hadn't all seen it for ourselves...

Edwards has not been bagging the Suter chassis. Edwards problem is that he can't even change gear ratios for each track. It is the engine and gearbox he has had issues with. Of course Audi are stupid and hired the wrong company. The should have asked the crash.net experts first! Did I see another idiot claiming Stoner is quitting because he is scared of Rossi on the Yamaha? I will have to get next weeks lottery numbers from Stoner as he can see into the future and knew Rossi would be on Yamaha months before anybody else!

@WylieCoyote:

True, 3 month's before Rossi announced his move, but that does not compute in the brigadiers minds, as it would spoil there self deluded fantasy.

Audi have listened to Rossi and JB ?? They only agreed to buy Ducati if those two clowns were off the payroll !!! Germans demand quality for there money !!

...yeh, they only bought ducati for the racing effort. the clown is the person who thinks ducati only exists within racing circles.

Further vindication for stoner, melandri, rossi & JB...4 years of asking for change and no (substance) from ducati. Audi buy in and a total restructure (not just of the racing effort) takes place within 6 months.

I didnt mention hayden because hes never spoken out.

Germans demand quality for there money !!

..thats why they have tried desperately to get stoner back on board...oh wait!

Like in the real world, buy a Honda its much cheaper way too go fast

By the way, In his calibre vale need 2 yrs to know that it is about casey's riding ability?

#1 decision is already done ... get rid of Rossi

#2 decision is to woo back stoner somehow. give him an offer too good to refuse. if not in 2013 then in 2014.

Ducati Won Championship with Casey Stoner because Bridgestone tire and they have build more engines than before other Honda and Yamaha. Then next year, Yamaha Rossi defected to Bridgestone and won the championship but Ducati wasn't.
I can't say Ducati will be competitive on Suter chassis or not but it'll be interesting one.
It's shame for Ducati factory too.
