i'm here! rotus had better reverse the direction of their exhaust outlets so as not to melt the ice man. glad hes back and please let petrov be gone. i like the line up at caterham, kovalainen and ricciardo replacing trulli. force india should keep their current drivers.

Some kind of miscommunication I think or perhaps the FIA cutoff date was prior to the announcement. The FIA are not really the most logical people around now

Welcome

I'm in a state of confusion. We all know that Renault will become Lotus and Lotus will become Caterham. Yet the press is writing about both using the moniker Team Lotus and it is throwing me off

I agree with you. Force India should keep the current line-up and Huklenberg to ROTUS would be nice. I'd hate to see him sit on the sidelines for another year.

Williams confirms Maldonado. No word on who will team with him

we wont have to worry about those exhaust because all teams have to revert back to periscope exhausts next year. wait is ricciardo really driving for caterham next season?

I thought this article was a good read. I tried finding it yesterday, but I didnt know how to navigate through the website to find older posts. Thankfully it was posted on Jalopnik today. Enjoy

Just saw this. Ferrari and Red Bull have left FOTA. This will be an interesting off season

Great article Samer....I've always believed that he possesses intelligence beyond his years.

that does not bode too well for the organization. I can see Ferrari's rationale for leaving as their racing team is their R&D for road cars. Why would someone like RedBull want to leave though? OR HRT for that matter?

Like how the Speed announcers said he is a student of the sport for referring how his drive in Brazil was similar to Senna's in 91. He is always learning. This is also another good read on Vettel, except I couldnt find anything more on red bulletin. It seemed, for me at least, really hard to navigate, so if anyone else could find more articles I would appreciate it

Well Red Bull is in for the marketing/business aspect. Maybe they believe that there image will suffer with F1 increasingly becoming stale. Like I said it will be an interesting off season to see how this plays out

So, unless I missed a post where do you think that Barichello will wind up? Or is his career over?
