Yeah, I noticed that. It's not the only case. It just means your opinion is highly regarded.

Heh, I wish I could believe that...

I think he meant the Porsche guys called him Jazz Maxi, not his name actually is Jazz Maxi.

Eh, its 25 for Fisi. You put me down twice for the same driver lol.

Red Bull for deliberately running the least laps for better reliablity, only for Webber to have an electrical failure.

A French Champ Car driver in F1?
We all know how that went last time...

No. Ferrari have said time and again that sponsors do not dictate driver lineups, and Santander is not Alonso's personal sponsor. They have no say in the matter. Maybe not, but Alonso has links with Santander anyway. I dunno if you heard this, but he wants to have a Pro Cycling team in 2011, and he...

I think Luca Di Montezemelo just confirmed Alonso is signed...but for 2011. I think they will let Raikkonen drive for one more year, THEN kick him out in favour of Alonso. And with the way the Renault case seems to be going...Nando could have a big problem for next year. What I see happening with th...

Did you know Piquet is Gay?

I'm not making that up btw, its at http://jbonline.terra.com.br/pextra/2009/09/11/e11093653.asp.
But of course that is Portugese...but that is the "proof" of it.

Men At Work's Land Down Under was playing on the radio 2 weeks ago...and it made me think of Mark Webber lol. Just think of the lyrics... Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscle I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" WEBBER just smiled and gave me a vegem...

Kostas22's Predictions: 2009 Italian GP 1. Fisichella 2. Raikkonen 3. Vettel 4. Sutil 5. Glock 6. Webber 7. Kubica 8. Hamilton Pole. Vettel Fastest Lap. Raikkonen First Retirement. Grosjean/Nakajima/Trulli/Buemi/Alguersuari/Liuzzi (all at the same time LOL) ROTR. Grosjean for triggering a multi-car ...

Wankel Rotary Engines?
Could be worse...they could collaborate with Peugeot on making a Diesel F1 engine, and it'd be called the Mazda Wankel Rotary HDi FAP

Same thing happened on F1 05 to me...except I was driving Barrichello's car lol.

Deletraz in FIA GT of course has been a PHENOMENON... No one else matters beyond that IMO. I wonder if Deletraz is entered as the professional driver or the "gentleman racer" who pays for their drive. For those who are not familiar to FIA GT3, there is a medal system . Gold means the driv...

Change "Nippony" to "Nissany".

Or even better, Go Happy Super Nippony-Nissany Fast Formula Team

"We need to get Karun in the Formula 1 car quickly," said Ecclestone

That should actually read "We need to get Karun in the Formula 1 car quickly, so I can make a butload of money from an Indian GP," said Ecclestone

Schumacher F1 Racing Team anybody?
With Ferrari engines of course.
And Rubens as the other driver too once he gets kicked out of Brawn

Don't rule out Fisi for next year at one of the new teams.
Ferrari wants to do what they did with Badoer in '99...having him continue racing for another team.

I know its not F1, but Maxi Jazz drove the Pro-Am category of the Porsche Carrera Cup UK.

Its his own fault for taking advice from Nelson Piquet Jr

I once got a ride in a Mini Cooper S Stunt Car with Allan McNish...
Thats all I got for this one.

Dunno. They don't utilise much of the sidepod either, just a massive Shell logo, which I actually do think Shell paid for, when you compare that to coverage the likes of Petrobras, Total and so on get on Renault, Williams, Red Bull etc, and not just because of the supply deal. Ever since Vodafone le...

Midland is so forgettable I can't even remember Albers' teammate! Who was it again...hmmm...**** I KNOW THIS ONE!!!! OMG I REMEMBER NOW! The incredibly boringly consistent Tiago Monteiro!! The only reason he isn't forgettable is because of the Indy 05 Tyre Debacle. And I also remember they had a but...

Admittedly that is true, but back in 07 when they still had Tobacco ads at the likes of Bahrain etc. it was called Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro. So they are half way there.
But the jump in price is ludacris.

From the dubious (a friend of a friend, who in turn has a lot of friends at Brawn) sources I heard, the amount Ross was asking for naming rights was so batshit insane (over £500 million) that he really didn't want to let it go. Thats a ****ing joke right? £500 MILLION!??!?!?!!? Heck, Marlboro only ...

Taku Sato dragging his Super Aguri to 6th in Canada '07.
But not quite enough to save them from rejectdom unfortunately :/

I read somewhere recently (I think it was an article on grandprix.com) that since the Cosworth engine is heavier and less fuel-efficient than the other engines, the weight penalty of additional fuel for a whole race distances and resultant handling compromises are estimated to cost the new teams 3-...

Which part?
The Prodrive using Mercedes engines or the Cosworth engine being rubbish?

"Parking Perfection" by Michael Schumacher. Foreword by Kimi Raikkonen.

If Alonso really doesn't have a Ferrari contract, the Oviedo Job Centre will filled with Fernando and hundreds of Spanish Journalists.

People live in Liechtenstein? I thought it was just one large business park!

No wonder Prodrive are using a Merc engine...this Cosworth powerplant sounds awful.

Ed24 wrote:I forgot Liuzzi was still a Reject.

He has a great chance to escape Reject status at Monza considering the speed of the Force Indias in low downforce conditions.

But he won't. Because he is a reject.

Give this man a beer!

Ferrari would have been better off putting Mika Salo in the car. At least he has won something in his entire career! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_International_Formula_3000_season#Driver Eh? Surprised at the drivers he beat...Rubens Barrichello, David Coulthard, Olivier Panis, Allan McNish, La...

The French Grand Prix Should be held in Montreal. That would then free up a Canadian GP at Ste. Jovite or Mosport. Honestly, the only track in France capable of staging an entertaining Grand Prix is too close to Monaco, and the evil,greedy troll would never let that happen. If you mean Pau, I disag...

Heidfeld is an obvious, very obvious choice at this moment. He's out of a seat, so it's not like he has a lot of options. He will stay out of trouble and bring the car home most of the time, and will be there in the occasional mad, destruction derby-like race. Oh, I'd like so much to watch him taki...

So basically we would have: (Rich Investor)-Cosworth Racing Team 1. Nick Heidfeld 2. Vitaly Petrov (I hear his backers are well loaded) Oh, plus another example I just thought of: RBR 2005: Coulthard (Williams, McLaren, debut 1994) and Klien (Jaguar, debut 2004) Not quite a rookie but close. He also...
