  • Still unsure whether Bahrein will be raced or not. On the other hand, Jean Todt said there is no way there'll be 21 GPs next season, 20 is the limit. Which means, with the re-entry of US, one of the current races will have to go. Still don't know wh…
  • Bahrein GP will be raced on October 30, with the Indian GP shifted to December 4. Money is money, and we know Bernie loves it. Now, there are several considerations. The first is social and concerns Bahrein: as Webber declared, F1 has also a social …
  • According to sources close to FIA, Bahrein GP may be paired with Abu Dhabi to be the season closer, with Brazil shifted back as last but two event. This may shift the end of the championship to late November or even early December! Which is still be…
  • Update on Robert: he had a last operation on his right arm last week, and everything seems to have gone perfectly, as his spokesmas said. Now rehab is going to start, and apparently they are sure he will go back to racing. With what performances, o…
  • Niki Lauda as well dismissed as "nonsense" the allegations by Kubica that rallying helped him imporve concentration and certain areas of driving, considering how limited tests are currently in F1. "F1 and rallies are two totally different sports", t…
  • Haven't seem the Williams new livery. LOVE, of course the Renault new JPS style livery, but I would have preferred Renault to keep its 2010 classical '80s livery and Lotus, and all that relates to it, be left where it belongs, in the glorious past a…
  • If Stoddie could have resisted, even in the 2000/2005 deminutive fashion, also for 2006 and 2007 (which could have happened also if he hadn't fallen out with Max, who was happy to see the Minardi name disappear just to get rid of him), starting from…

  • Alonso the wylie fox is now hinting that Red Bull should be coherent with what it said during the year, which means....Seb wins in Abu Dhabi, Mark is second and Ferdy takes the title. Many hints are instead suggesting Horner and Mateschitz are cons…
  • In my opinion, even though it looks like Ferdy, the fav is still Mark. Mind: in Abu Dhabi, unless mechanical failures happen, or unless they get crazy, it should be an easy Red Bull 1-2. And this time, with Mark in front. Little Seb is out, he cann…
    in Korea Comment by manlio27 October 2010
  • My predictions for the Brazilian GP, as I'll be leaving Angola tonite after 2 years and 8 months (moving to London), so I'll be pretty much offline until Monday: Pole: Vettel 1st: Webbo 2nd: Alonso 3rd: Vettel 4th: Hamilton First out: Alguersuari B…
  • Guys, here are my predictions for Korean GP (as I'll be on a business trip to Congo (!) the next three days): Pole: Webbo 1st: Webbo 2nd: Vettel 3rd: Alonso 4th: Clewlis First out: Sutil Best ex Minardi: Webbo
  • Pole: Vettel 1st: Webbo 2nd: Alonso 3rd: Button 4th: Hamilton First out: M$ Best ex-Minardi: Webbo
  • Alonso said Singapore is the perfect track to go back to winning. We know, Ferdy, we know, it was the perfect track also for Renault to go back to winning in 2008. Guys, keep an eye on Massa during the race :-):-)
  • Lease, I'm not even sure you can actually discount Button: even though he's been both dull and unlucky in the last few races, a win in Japan, with Webbo not making it to 2nd, would boost him again into the middle of the wild bunch. 5 potential cont…
  • GCM talked to the press in italy, and he said that FIA should oblige all teams to use young drivers for the Friday first test session in each race, in order to help their entry into F1. He said "''Grazie alle formule propedeutiche i ragazzi oggi arr…
  • And my predictions for Monza and Singapore (I will be away on holiday the next two weeks, with no Internet access): MONZA Pole: Webbo 1st: Vettel 2nd: Webbo 3rd: Alonso 4th: Hamilton First out: Rosberg Best ex Minardi:Webbo SINGAPORE Pole: Vettel…
  • Great race, great Lewis and great Mark. Alonso made a mistake but was a bit unlucky being bumped by Rubens. Usual stupid Seb, now his title chances are compromised, and he also spoilt Jense's championship. Button has not been lucky either in this la…

  • Very interesting year indeed, and not on a low level like last year, but at a very high level with the normal mistakes drivers can make when under full pressure. Apart from Vettel who showed his immaturity at Istanbul and Budapest. We've had 5 diff…
    in Hungary Comment by manlio27 August 2010
  • Roo, I guess TOIT re-signed Massa out of gratefulness for the help he gave to M$ in 2006 and to Kimi in 2007, for the season he had in 2008, and because, after all, he almost died for Ferrari at Hungaroring in 2009. But there's no doubt that, if in …

  • Yep, great news for Pirelli, they're definitely going to have a great return of image for this. And, fortunately, they're going to be single supplier, as it has to be. F1 is a champiionship of drivers, teams and, at the most, engineers, not a champ…

  • Shame on Italy and France, shame shame shame. Go back home, Lippi and Domenech, hope never to hear about you again! Crazy world cup, one between Uruguay, USA, South Korea and Ghana will make it to the semis, and on the other side, if Spain fails as …
  • Weird World Cup so far: out of the 8 bigs, only Holland, Brazil and Argentina had a crystal-clear road. France is out, Italy had a disgraceful 1-1 with New Zealand, and will now most certainly be second to Paraguay, and England, Spain and Germany ne…
  • Thanks for the 6 points, Facty, but I only got 4! If Red Bull got Webbo earlier to the pits, and he managed to finish behind Clewlis, I would have got all the first four plus the best ex Minardi......... And Stan got 6 points, not 7. Below is the…

  • Seb's nerves bursted, at the end, that's the only explanation. And having seen his body language after Barcelona and (to a lesser extent) after Montecarlo, it could have been expected, but not to such a level of stupidity. No point at all doing tha…
