Yeah, seeing one new article isn't too assuring, especially when Mitsubishi's main motorsports pages makes no mention of the announcement. We will probably see the offical announcement tomorrow. The deadline to register is the 15th, and they still haven't made any driver announcements, so it's still fully plausibile that they are pulling out.
Sucks to see them go, but in better news, about 70% of the new Red Bull team (engineers and tech's mainly) will be ex-factory Skoda men. Hopefully they can continue their development (in a somewhat limited fashion) and to quote Petter Solberg, "To say that Sebastien Loeb is not in a factory car is bullshit. Guy Frequelin is still there, you know, engineers, mechanics, full-spec Michelin tyres, everything."
