Couldn’t see it last night when I walked through there.

This year has been a revolutionary year for formula one. The Brawn story is incredible. I’m sure wheel-to-wheel racing will evolve from the 2009 regulation changes. For me though I’ve not enjoyed the very rich and privileged squabble and then hang their dirty laundry out for everyone to see. This narrative is not interesting and has dominated the season.

I agree about the scandal rubbish. I would prefer the drivers to be scandalous off the track.

Would love to see Kimi lined up with Lewis at McLaren.

“that’s the unexpected outcomes bit. Don’t you think it’s been fascinating not knowing from race to race which team was going to be fastest?”

I agree, this was a point of interest and it did make the season interesting from a team development / technical aspect. it all served to make saturdays qualifying of more interest than the racing to a large degree. is this right? to my mind sunday’s race should be the “main dish” of the gp weekend. the circulation of cars behind one another, unable to pass because of dirty air makes for bad racing. and we saw plenty of that this year.

Raikkonen will not retire. He will sign for McLaren.

I don’t want to admit it but it’s looking like Kimi’s last formula one race.

I cant imagine next season without Kimi. If he goes there will be a massive gap in the line up. I also really hope Kobyoshi gets the 2nd Toyota seat. Blokes a nutter.

So James is that trap door in the pit lane tunnel really there or is it Urban Legend?

didn’t alan donneelly (oops did i spell that wrong oh well) do some campaigning for todt? can’t see him going anywhere (unfortunately)

i like silverstone playing hard ball with bernie. it’s absolutely ridiculous that they have to stump up for the same deal that donnington originally agreed to, when donnington has not been able to come up with the goods. why should silverstone put themselves completely out of pocket just for bernie’s unrealistic demands. it’s crazy when a 190000 sell out crowd (many of them having to save up all year, and paying several hundred pounds for a ticket) only just cover bernie’s hosting fees. it’s completely insane that they should want to be locked into a 17 year deal with a 7% year on year increase in fees. and why should the BRDC be bending over backwards simply to deal with someone so blinded by greed that he couldn’t even see that donnington didn’t have a hope of working out.

as an aside, i think liuzzi has redeemed himself. with so many seats up for grabs next year, i don’t see too many drivers on the current grid being too disappointed next year (grosjean perhaps…)
