Logically, yes. but, Bernie is likely to figure that with no Japanese team on the grid, its not worth having a race in Japan and move it to some other exotic location, preferably on the streets, instead

To go from two GP circuits and 3 F1 teams to no representation at all would be a big blow... I assume the Williams engine deal is still on... or are they going to go with Cosworth power like so many of the aspiring newcomers (save Dave Richards who is linked to a Mercedes deal) |

Well they were supposed to be alternating so Suzuka should get the race back. As good as the last two races have been Fuji has nothing on Suzuka |

Maybe Williams will have to get their engine from BMW

One of the 2010 entrants will prolly buy them out and whip everybody's asses like BGP are doing! They'll need new engines, of course. |

Looks like they are ALL in for 2010 (incl. TOYOTA) but are still pressing that the entry is a formality and on the understanding that it is on their own terms.... |

It was hardly a credible source that reported the story anyway And they never said Toyota weren't lodging an entry, they just said they MAY NOT Much ado about nothing |
