There is a school of thought that it will be Trulli in a Sauber not Fisi…….watch this space.

>>The contract is subject to the team being granted a place on the F1 grid<<

So if they dont get a spot its no deal and the team still belongs to BMW?

Martin P you misunderstand. I agree that it’s interesting to see where James has (and hasn’t) given replies. I wasn’t suggesting his replies be guided by these votes. In my experience it just helps draw readers’ eyes generally to “quality posts” and away from those which are less informed/plain awful. We’re now seeing comments per article running into the hundreds and there are only so many minutes in a lunch break!

Please don’t go down that route!!!!

One of the best bits about your blog is coming back to flick through the comments and read the replies you’ve made – mainly because it’s interesting to see which ones catch your eye. If we vote for what we want you to talk about that element is lost.

If it ain’t broke…… and trust me, this blog is far from broke!

James

Another idea I’ve seen on other fora which seems to work – An option to “rate” a post along the lines of:

“122 readers voted this a quality posting. Add my vote.”

The top five quality postings can be linked to from your Latest Stories/Categories/etc column

Sadly this is not true. F1 is not some government-run jobs program.

If it were then there are thousands and thousands of unemployed “auto workers” that would be already lined-up for *their bailout.

Sod the rules and sod the contracts – the only thing that matters here is the livelihoods of all the employees at both Sauber & Toyota – if bending or overruling the rules enables them to all to stay in jobs and keep roofs over their families heads – then so be it !
