^Red and gold wouldnt go a miss either.
The interesting thing is, BMW Sauber has been put in as the reserve team in case someone else drops out, but the FIA are talking to the teams to try and expand the grid to 14 teams and get them in anyway. I hope that works, the more cars the better.
I think there's going to be a lot of rookies on the grid next year and a number of older "journeymen drivers" seeing out there careers in the new teams.

Let's hope they have a black and yellow livery
Or, at least, all-yellow or all-black

GOSH !!!!!!!!!!! Lotus is back in F1. Next year, we have four new teams, powered by coffee makers. Well, that's probably what the Cosworth engines is going to be. I do not think any of the cars will get any topline drivers so we have eight cars, powered by coffee makers and driven by mediocre drivers. I am not knocking these teams. I just predict what will happens in seven month's time. This winter and the silly season is going to be interesting at least. Only five drivers have a seat. The rest is scrambling around the scene. This is the best possible entertainment. I am almost fainting in joy.

I dont know, he'd closed to 1s behind and I think he was trying to line Button up for a go into Ascari or the Parabolica, whether it would have worked is another matter.
Personally I love his never-say-die attitude, I find it rather depressing to see drivers just sit back and give up on gaining a place.

Liuzzi was doing well too until his gearbox went. It was a shame.
As for Hamilton... ouch, that was a tad silly now, wasn't it?
He'd never have caught Button with 2 laps to go and even if he did, he'd not have got passed him. He should have just settled for 3rd.

If Ferrari didnt have KERS I dont doubt FI would be looking at a win and a third from the last two races. I just hope the car still proves fast when they head back to the high downforce circuits again.

That Force India car is FAST. Well done to all in that team for getting that car together. Stuck to the back of the Ferrari all race and who knows if Raikkonen hadn't have had the benefit of KERS

^I dont get why the Piquets have even started this because they are going to lose whatever the outcome of the WMSC. No team will hire Jr now because he's either a backstabbing fraudster or untrustworthy with the little secrets that all teams have.

Ha... as we say here: "Punishment comes riding a horse". In mid-80s when Senna started to grab media attention Piquet accused him of being gay, something really hard if you go back a quarter of century ago. Now Briatore is saying the same about Piquet Jr, a kind of stabbing for Piquet "Macho Man" Sr. 
If RBR wins the championship it'll be a shock here since he is the focus of many jokes (some really tough) in and out of the media.  |

I think its safe to say that RBR's chances of the title is only mathamatical now, and since they expect to do badly at Singapore they wont even be that for long.

What gets me is that any of the top 6 from qualy could win tomorrow, there all running at about the same pace (doubt it will be Kovy though).

It's not a circle. That's NASCAR. But sure, it's not as exciting as it used to be. Sutil looking good? How does that even work?

Well, in most minds; it is still Singapore 2008. What a soap ! Renualt accuse Nelson Piquet Jr of being a gay(man) and Nelson Piquet Sr of blackmailing. Those two accuse Renualt of triggering an accident which could had killed people. It's worth getting a bag of popcorn and a keg with beer here. This soap will run and run. The qualifying ? Is there someone out there who really bothers about racing now ? The Piquetgate is far more racy than twenty cars running around in a circle.

Monza this weekend, Sutil is looking good, topping FP2 and 3. Red bull way down the field though with Brawn looking pretty good.

^I woldnt say he was a legendary F1 driver, but an excellent sports car hand certainly.
Force India must be happy, I bet they've suddenly had £5million in debts to Ferrari erased.

On JustinTv, during a chat about racing, I accidentally "met" one german guy called Torsten... to make the story brief, he turned to be Rolf Stommelen's nephew....
Rolf Stommelen was a legendary Sports Car and Formula One driver, who died in Riverside in 1983, during an IMSA race...
I must say I was pretty ipressed, and in some ways, shocked
