D&B F1 Index: Formula 1 Racing Teams in 2009 Credit Check

DARMSTADT, Germany - According to an international assessment carried out by D&B
Deutschland, the business information service, Formula 1 teams will be making
a solid financial start to the 2009 season. Indeed, the financial crisis, the
credit crunch and desertion by a number of sponsors have left some scars on
the racing stables, but this is not preventing them from being well equipped
for the battle over the world championship crown. Once again, Toyota takes
first place, with 99 points, on the D&B Formula 1 index, as it had done at
the end of the 2008 season. BMW Sauber comes just behind (with 98 points).
Behind these come Toro Rosso and Red Bull (both 90) followed by Renault (88).
