Default Maserati-Lamborghini F1 Team in 2007 ?!!!!!?

check this out guys:

Maserati-Lamborghini is a Formula One (F1) team hoping to compete in the 2007 World Championship. Formula One.

The Maserati car will be equipped with a V8 Lamborghini engine. The Maserati team will get technical assistance from Scuderia Ferrari. Rumors say that Maserati will hire drivers Fernando Alonso and Juan Pablo Montoya for 2007. The team's full name is possibly X-Elite Maserati-Lamborghini F1. The team hopes to compete in 2007, but stay anonymous until 2005.

The team's technical directors are Rick Chen and Matt Letourneau. They are both unknown and new engineers, but Maserati team principal John Lord believes they are excellent and reliable. After years of absence in F1, Maserati and Lamborghini are now working hard together to design their brand new ML-700 to strike again in the Formula One world.

I find it weird that Ferrari will help a Maserati-Lambo team, especially Lambo

I hardly doubt that this team (if they will ever see daylight) have ties with both JP and ALonso. Rumours I say

Doesnt make sense to me. Maserati is basicly Ferrari, why would Ferrari start another team with a some what competitor in their road car business Lamborghini, plus how can they get Alonso and JP for 2007? Thats 2 years from now...

Sounds like BS.

Exactly...But we have forgotten 1 crucial thing...

VW has been very interested in the Maserati brand lately....It was on Car magazine a while back....If VW does acquire maserati, then the chances of that happening become very big, because they don't have an actual team on F1, will have the right names to enter it, and the budget too....
