Guess who was on the BA Milan-London plane a few rows before me, and just ahead of me at the passport control at Heathrow two days ago? Yes, you guessed, HIM, our national Flav!!!!!
I spoke to him and sent him Nelson and Nelsinho Piquet's regards u…
Flav agreed with FIA on him not being able to have any operative role in F1 until 31 December 2012, then we may see again in F1.
I was too pessimistic in fearing to see him again in 2010 or 2011, but unfortunately I was realistic in knowing we had n…
The Tribunal de Grand Instance of Paris (a civil court) lifted the ban on Flav and Symonds stating FIA had not the authority to disqualify them. FIA can still appeal the decision, so the disqualification is still effective, and they said they will a…
The judgment is a bit exaggerated, but too beautiful to be true. Max won't be in time to manage the appeal, and in appeal the disqualification will be reduced to a few months and the other penalties will be lifted. I still think we'll see him in Bah…
Don't worry, guys, you won't miss your Flav for long: when Mosley leaves to Todt (or Vatanen, as I still hope), Flav will be back. In Melbourne 2010 he'll be be there...if Renault is there, of course....
As for me, although I recognize his marketin…
REWIND, guys!!!!!!
It's been sold back to Peter Sauber! No QADBAK involved anymore :-) :-) :-)
This means it will remain a REAL team and keep its chances to do well in an unpredictable championship (also because, at this point, Heidfeld will likely …
Tony Fernandes confirmed on his Twitter page that the two drivers will be announced on Monday.
One will almost certainly be Trulli, who already worked with Mike Gascoyne.
The other might be either Sato or Kovalainen, apparently.
But I'm still not re…
No! No! And again no! 1000 times no!
The Lotus name is linked forever to Colin Chapman, Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt, Fittipaldi, Peterson, Andretti, Mansell, De Angelis, Senna.....
Do you guys remember how ridiculous and deminutive Lotus w…
Max wanted to get rid of Flav as a personal revenge (as he did with Ron Dennis early this year, following the Hamilton affair in Melbourne), and also to get a revenge against Renault top management (Ghosn) for openly criticising FIA on the new rules…
If everything is proven, that will be the final and definitive end of Flav's career in F1.
And will put the word "end" also on Renault's second F1 stint.
I'm disgusted that a tem may even think about crashing one of its cars to get the other to win.
I add Hungary results, and correct Belgium results (Facty, btw, where did you get all those 2 points? We all got 0 points for Spa!).

Facty,
I guess by mistake you started the Valencia thread from the Germany one, instead of the Hungarian. This is actually roung 12, and we should add the Hungary points and medals to all the participants.
Here are my predictions for SPA:

According to Bild, Schumacher is secretly training. Perhaps to have a later comeback allowing more time for his body to get fit. It may be that Badoer drives in Valencia and Spa, then M$ in Monza, Singapore and Suzuka, and Massa is back for Interlag…
Sorry for M$, it would have made this part of the season veeeeery interesting.
But I'm very happy for Luca, he deserved this chance after 10 years. Still, I'm not sure howhw may perform, after 10 years far away from the race atmosphere (10 years fro…
Hard to believe Kimi and Nick to be out of 2010 line-up.....
As for Villeneuve, I'll only believe it if and when I see it.
Danica Patrick? I'm frankly indifferent. But she has no chance at all to make any good in F1.
Great win by Webbo, congrats (and congrats to myself, Jumpey and PistonBroke for guessing it hihihi :-))
For the 5th time an ex Minardi after Nannini, Fisico, Alonso and Trulli) becomes a GP winner.
Good race in Germany, I quite enjoyed it. And I w…
Roo and hammer get gold, so no silver is awarded, and Neil, Jumpey, Telstar, PistonBroke, forzaminardi and myself get bronze.

If to his talent and his extraordinary car you add an abominable portion of good luck, there is nothing to do. Really nothing to do.
Poor jense had already won the race, when Clewlis (!) triggered the first safety car. And both Ferdy and Jense woul…

No issue for me either with Jenson and Brawn taking the championships. Would love to see Jarno and Webbo winning a race, and Williams and BMW being more competitive. I would also love to see Heidfeld winning a race, but definitely it is not going to…
It's the usual game, will never happen that 5 teams including TOIT and TOFT leave F1. They'll find a compromise, even though currently they're more than ever showing the muscles.....(see meeting in Heathrow yesterday).
Meanwhile, is it true that Mo…
I'd say Nelsinho. Now it's hard to deny that simply (as Murray Walker said about Ian Magnussen) he's not good enough for F1.
Difficult Barrichello to be dropped for a rookie until the team is leading the dance.
