No, love it with a passion too.

Unfortunately I can't get excited about Hammo. Just don't seem to warm to him.

Jenson on the other hand, I like very much. Just wish I could give him a kick up the bottom from the UK public.

Valencia was woeful, yesterday at Spa not much better............

It's become more interesting since Ferrari brought in the clown that is Badoer. 4 pit lane speeding fines in 1 weekend!! Then yesterday he caused 2nd practice to be red flagged!!

The mechanics must send him off each time wondering if he's going to make it round the track.

Apparently he also rammed into the back of a stationary Adrian Sutil in Parc Ferme last weekend too lol!!

He is dire, and will surely be replaced for the Italian Grand Prix. Bruno Senna anyone?

Read somewhere this week that Fisi wants to jump accross. As an Italian naturally he wants a shot, even if only briefly, of racing a Ferrari!

If Force India are getting rid of him anyway............

Who knows perhaps he could take some intelligence back to the team.........

Jenson, Jenson, Jenson......... Unsure/Confused

Well what a grid that is for tomorrow!

Never seen anything like it.

Jenson will be lucky to get a point tomorrow, be lucky to escape with his lead in double figures....pressures mounting!

Admin Location : Abu Dhabi

INtersting race today, nice to see some of the lower teams getting amongst the front runners.

Jenson must have guardian angel watching over him, managing only to lose 2 points today from his lead is a win for him really.

Another interesting story is that a previous Singapore race is under investigation by the FIA. Although they havent announced it, rumours are circulating that When Alonso won the race due to a safety car being deployed because of a crash by his team mate Piquet, it was pre-planned.

Now funny that Piquet gets sacked from Renault, and then this appears? I wonder who might have blabbed?!

Naughty Flav?

Very interesting, hadn't heard that! Will be interesting to hear the outcome.

Cheers

Just in time for Monza, cha ching at the gates as an Italian drives a Ferrari! He couldnt have timed that great drive at Spa andy better really. He has also bagged the Test drivers seat, and third race driver's spot if he's needed, for next year.

Also Renault have been summoned to appear before the world Motor Sport Council on those fixing charges.

Was in Milan with mates this week and thought I was too close to Monza to not go so we got from Milan to Monza and managed to get in for €5. Got into the grandstand and even bumped into Jake Humphrey. It was a really good couple of hours and looking forward to the race

Excellent Phil, enjoy!

Not long til Abu Dhabi, cant wait, my second Grand Prix of the season, sweet!

Admin Location : Abu Dhabi

F1 does itself no favours does it? They could make a soap opera out of the last 2 seasons.....

Renaut are now going to sue Nelson Piquet Jnr and Snr for suggesting Renault told NP Jnr to fix the Singapore race last year in which Alonso won when Piquet crashed out.

Lotus to return to F1 bbc news

Location : Swindon Spotter Watch Member : no

From the BBC: Lotus will return to F1 in 2010

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8256295.stm

They have been awarded the final grid spot and join Campos GP, Manor and US F1 as one of four new teams for 2010.

I think the 2010 seasom will be extreemly interesting.

Admin Location : Abu Dhabi

The FIA have now given BMW (taken over yesterday by some Swiss company) the reserve spot for 2010, and will ask the existing teams if they can increase the grid to 28 cars next year!!

Im not sure what they will do for garages and pitlane space with an extra 4 teams on the grid. Monaco for example has hardly any space as it is, without finding room for all these teams.

Would certainly be entertaining with so many cars racing.

Admin Location : Abu Dhabi

Well is this the biggest F1 story ever?

Flavio and Synonds sacked by Renault, who say they won't dispute the race fixing allegations next weekm

Renault want out of F1 anyway and they could end up with a lifetime F1 ban anyway,

I think its great a bully such as Flavio gets some of his own medicin.

Going to be interesting what Bernie has to sayN he is Flavios business partner!
