ESPN.com - Dubai team to get Mercedes-McLaren help (537 words) |
 | Team Dubai F1 said on Saturday that it had filed documentation and would lodge a mandatory $48 million security bond with the sport's governing body, the International Automobile Federation, to secure a slot. |
| The team, the second in the space of a week to announce its entry in 2006, said it had talked to a number of teams and owners about buying an existing operation but had instead decided to go it alone. |
| "Dubai is committed to developing and supporting world class expertise in carefully-targeted high-technology industries," said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, president of the Dubai Civil Aviation and a key backer of the team. |
