Even if yet another team pulls out of Formula One, it is now too late for Epsilon Euskadi to be ready to compete in F1 next year.
"The project has been stopped for two months so it is not possible," Joan Villadelprat told Spain's Radio Marca. "The car would not be ready in time.
"What we could do is take up the work already carried out by one of the other new teams if they are not ready," he added.
However, Villadelprat ruled out buying Toyota's Cologne operation.
"It has many, many jobs and a very big structure; a bag too heavy to carry," he added.

teams should be able to spend as much as they want on f1,they know what they can afford.no its the restictive
regulations which have ruined the sport give designers more scope,give manufacturers the ability to produce
multi cylinder engines if they want,six wheeled cars if they want just let them use their inginuity.F1 needs to
bring back competition between tyre suppliers,fuel suppliers even spark plugs,put strategy back with refueling and dont publish how much fuel is in the cars,bring back qually tyres and engines,scrap the stupid rule of using both types of compound tyres in fact lets go back to the future.
It's not going to be long before no one is left on the grid, why, because FOTA didn't accept the 4o million pound salary cap. But weak old Max caved in while Bernie buckeled by the knees. If this 40 million pound salary cap was in place now, F1 would not be in the state it is in now. And the departure of Renault is of no great shock to anyone, people knew that Toyota were on the verge of leaving, people have known for a while now that Renault are going to leave F1. But in Renaults case it's like someone travelling on a bus and say's they are getting off at the next stop, but thirty two stops latter they are still on. But if Renault do actually decide to leave, well that is poor form on them not to announce this earlier, so another new team can enter the sport. Toyota and Renault clearly don't care about the sport, and especially Renault after opposing the 4o million pound salary cap.....what a disgrace this is.......
a bag too heavy to carry, sums it up nicely.
